Hi, Howcome the following simple piece of code doesn't return all the files in the directory? All it returns is the single "." directory? 
#!/usr/bin/perl

opendir (ID, "/home/actionet/gallerymain") || print "Couldn't open dir
+ectory for reading\n";
 (@dir0) = readdir(ID) || print "Couldn't read directory contents.\n";
closedir(ID) || print "Couldn't close directory after reading contents
+\n";

foreach $inode0 (@dir0) {
  print "File about to be processed is: $inode0\n";
 next if ($inode0) =~ /^\./;
  $thefile = "/home/actionet/gallerymain" . $inode0;
  next if (-d $thefile);
 print "File to process is: $thefile\n";
}
