Sorry about the previous anonymous posts -- i couldn't get my password at the machine I was using.

Anyway, my next (logical) follow-up question is this: Given an array of directories (@dirs) and the ability to get all of the filenames in each of those dirs into an array (@files), what's the best way to build the structure you describe in your post?

would you do something like: 
foreach (@dirs) {
  # get filenames into @files
  # push dir name...?
  foreach (@files) {
    # do some sort of magic with push();,
    # taking into account when you get to the
    # fifth filename...?
  }
}

I was able to figure out how to use push() to loop through the dir names, but adding the sub-structures is confusing :)
