the output of your code is simlar to what i saw:

That's unlikely, since my code doesn't contain any prints. Not even your original code contains the word and that's showing up in this output. And I really don't see which code would cause the pathname to apparently be repeated six times in what appears to be the same string. Use Data::Dumper or Data::Dump for debug output like I suggested and post the actual code you're running, and maybe we'll have a chance to help. See How do I post a question effectively? and I know what I mean. Why don't you? in addition to Short, Self-Contained, Correct Example.

are you saying that i need to use /\Q$row/because of the paths?

Not quite, the \Q escapes metacharacters in $row that would otherwise be interpreted as regex characters. Anyway, that's not the only suggestion I made, what about the others?
