If you were looking for just the files and not any directories, then try this, 
#!/perl -w

use strict;

##Code is tested on winxp with perl 5.8##

my $path = "c:\\";
my @files;

#Open the directory
opendir(AMHANDLE,$path);

#iterate over the file handle
while(my $file = readdir(AMHANDLE))
{
    #print $file ."\n";
    
    #If the file is a folder then just echo it
        if(-d $path.$file)
    {
        print "$file is a folder\n";
    }
    else
        {
                #Else push it onto the files array
                push @files,$file;
    }
}
#Close the handle
closedir(AMHANDLE);

#Echo the contents of the @files array
foreach my $item(@files)
{
    print $item . "\n";

}

Yes I know that in *NIX that directories are just special case files, but I didn't know if the poster meant files or simply the contents. Please understand that I'm not trying to sound like a know-it-all because everyone probably knows by now that I'm not. I just wanted to offer a few other tidbits of knowledge to AM.
