Hello Perl Monks
I wrote a code to get the absolute paths of the files in a directory,but I get the path showing the files as present in current directory. Eg: Here, I'm using the directory Cluster1 on the desktop with files doc.txt,volt.txt and holiday.txt. The absolute path should be C:\\Users\\Me\\Desktop\\Cluster1\\doc.txt. But, I get the output as D:\Prog\Perls\doc.txt(D:\Prog\Perls is the location where I execute my code). 

$dirname="C:\\Users\\Me\\Desktop\\Cluster1";
opendir(DIR, $dirname);
@FILES= readdir(DIR); 
foreach $FILE (@FILES){
$fil_path = File::Spec->rel2abs($FILE);
print "File path:", $fil_path;
}
closedir DIR;

Can you suggest a way to get the absolute path of the file from its original location.(I would also like the path to have 2 escape characters(\\) as a single one doesn't work while accessing a file.)
Thank you.
