Hello Monks!

Task: I have a .txt file with filenames which have to be deleted. I need to read the file, append the ".png" and ".txt" extension to the filenames. Then, I need to search for those files on my system, print out the full paths and in the end, to delete the files. This is what I got until now:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

use File::Find;

print "Files to be deleted: \n";
open ("file", "remove.txt") || die ("Could not open file. \n $!");

@text=<file>;
print(@text);
close("file");


my $dir = "/Downloads/png_files/";
find(\&wanted, $dir);

sub wanted {
    print $File::Find::name if -d
};

Problem: I tried, but failed, in appending the extensions to the filenames in my .txt file and I also do not know how to pass the values stored in the array to the find () subroutine, the "if" clause.

I just started learning Perl and it's a bit out of my reach. If anyone can lend a helping hand, I would appreciate it.

Thank you!
