Re^2: file listing within skript not working

Thanks a lot for Your help! I'll ask our server-admins about selinux. I am pretty sure you are right. When I changed the script to

my @files = glob "$datenDir/*.xml";
[download]

it does not even write anything into the logfile. So I think the listings within scripts might be forbidden.

And thanks for directing me to "glob". Don't know why I didn't use it - I think I need something to drink :-)

Well said moritz ++ McSvenster Perl has many ways to do things,you can also use `readdir()` function this way, `use strict; use warnings; use Data::Dumper; opendir (DIR, "/home/vinoth/"); my @files = grep /\.xml$/, readdir DIR; print Dumper \@files;` [download] I am not telling this is the best way, but its also one of the way.

It's getting more and more confusing for me... But maybe I found the critical point: When I use the backticks perl writes to the logfile until the program comes to the line with the backticks. But when I use "glob" instead, perl executes the whole program before it performs any file-writing. Is this right? And more important: Can you explain it to me? (you see, I am a beginner...)	[reply]
