Please help. I tried to figure this out to no avail. I need to replace about 100 html files that all reside in the same directory. I want to replace them all with the same file but, retain each files original name. This is what I think should happen (oh boy) : a-I want the perl script to open the directory, b-Grab the first files name into an array or "$filename", c-Copy the new.html file that will be replacing the old one ($filename), d-Save that new file as the old $filename, e-Proceed to the next file until all .html files are replaced. This is prob easy for any of you gurus out there! Thanks in advance for any assistance! Bourbon Jim
