It seems to work fine, but i would like to impliment Tainting on this script, and it doesn't seem to work.

What does this mean? Is there an error generated? Without any more info, I'll just shoot in the dark and guess that it says that you have an insecure PATH. To fix that, just add this line to the beginning of the program:

$ENV{PATH}='/bin:/usr/bin'; # wherever your ls exec lives

If that's not the problem, share the error message with us, and we'll probably be able to help. You can also try looking up the error in perldiag.
