#/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
#much other stuff....
#initializations etc....
foreach $file (@list_of_filenames){
open(THISFILE,'< $file') or warn "ERROR: Can't open $file!\n";#for
+ this application fail to open is not fatal..
binmode(THISFILE);
$data = Digest::MD5->new->addfile(*THISFILE)->hexdigest;
return unless ($data);
#...process $data.....
}
Gee, why does every file have the same digest?....
Maybe because open tries to open a file NAMED: " < $file " ?
I keep tripping on the q() vs qq() vs qw() vs qx() differences....

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
-
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
