Hello perl friends,
I have a question about reading directories, I have the following directory structure

/home/dev/jhon which is $strPath in my script, now
/home/dev/jhon contains
/home/dev/jhon/work
/home/dev/jhon/school
/home/dev/jhon/vacation

after this each dir below jhon, i.e work, school and vacation have the same subpath, /WORKAREA/work so it looks like below

/home/dev/jhon/work/WORKAREA/work 
/home/dev/jhon/school/WORKAREA/work 
/home/dev/jhon/vacation/WORKAREA/work

what i want to do is if $strPath equals "/home/dev/jhon"
then do a readdir on 

/home/dev/jhon/work/WORKAREA/work 
/home/dev/jhon/school/WORKAREA/work 
/home/dev/jhon/vacation/WORKAREA/work
and store it in an array so something like what I have roughed up like so 
opendir (DIR,$strPath) || die print "can't open dir : !$\n";
my @arrDirList=readdir(DIR);
if ($strPath eq "/home/dev/jhon")
  {
   foreach $arrDirList(@arrDirList)
    {
      my $temp = "/WORKAREA/work";  
      open (DIR1, $strPath/$arrDirList$temp) || die print "nuts";
      my @SubList=readdir(DIR1);
    }
   }
  else
   {
     continue on whatever i am doing
   }
