If you're globbing as in @filesList = <*> or @filesList = glob "*", consider what the order of the files would be in the array. You may want it sorted:

bash-3.2$ cat d1      
abc
cde
edf
bash-3.2$ cat d2
rst
tuv
uvw
bash-3.2$ cat d3
ghi
hij
jkl
bash-3.2$ cat t4.pl
my %data;

while (<>)
{
    chomp;
    push @{ $data{$ARGV} }, $_;
}

my @sorted_data = map $data{$_}, sort keys %data;

use Data::Dumper;
warn Dumper \@sorted_data;

bash-3.2$ t4.pl *
$VAR1 = [
          [
            'abc',
            'cde',
            'edf'
          ],
          [
            'rst',
            'tuv',
            'uvw'
          ],
          [
            'ghi',
            'hij',
            'jkl'
          ]
        ];

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.
