Hi, please take a look at the documentation for Path::Iterator::Rule, which can be used simply to "store up" the file names as shown below, or can filter for various different criteria first (not_empty, min size, etc).

use strict; use warnings;
use Path::Iterator::Rule;

my @dirs = (
    '/somepath/to/dir1',
    '/other/path/to/dir2',
);

my $rule = Path::Iterator::Rule->new->file;

for my $file ( $rule->all( @dirs ) ) {
    say $file; 
    # etc.
}

__END__

Hope this helps!
