in reply to next if regex matches

The square brackets are unnecessary. next unless $path =~ /\.(log|txt)$/;You could also be a little more parsimonious: next unless $path =~ /\.(?:log|txt)$/;Thus avoiding a (presumably unnecessary) capture to $1.

The square brackets are also what made your post render weird. ;-)

    another form of negation could be 
    next if $path !~ /\.(?:log|txt)$/;
