in reply to A better regex

Your regex question has been answered, but I noticed you used:
my @files=`ls AFILE_*zip BFILE_*zip `;
Since ls is dependent on your operating system, a more general way to do this would be:

    my @files = glob('AFILE_*zip BFILE_*zip');

Cheers!

    also works: 
    my @files = glob( '{A,B}FILE_*zip' );

or

my @files = <{A,B}FILE_*zip>;
