readdir(D) gives only the file names, if you included the $! in the file open function it could have given you the "oops No such file or directory" error message, in the file open function give the absolute path to open the file.

Here is the code I checked.

my $handle=$ARGV[0];

opendir(D,$handle) or die "cannot open $!";

my @files=readdir(D);

print "@files\n";

foreach my $file(@files)
{
        open (MYFILE,"$handle/$file") or die "oops $!";
        while(<MYFILE>)
        {
                print $_;
        }
}
closedir(D);

All is well
