I am trying to reverse an array's listing order received from glob(); Here's my best attempt but I tend to loose one of my files. By this, I mean I have 10 files in my dir and when line 3 proves it, the tables called show only 9 of them, I guess it got poped and ignored. I tried placing it later in the sub but still got back 9. Is there something else I can use or a different approach to doing this?
perldoc didn't have much help for me on this, unless I am looking it up wrong

Thank you in advance. JayBee

$glob = "../dir/*.txt";
@listoitems = glob( $glob );
print br, 'Found: ', $#listoitems + 1, ' items', br;
$i=0;
print '<table width="600">';
foreach $item (@listoitems) {
$item = pop(@listoitems);
$i++;
if ($i>9){$i=0;}
if ($i =~ /0|2|4|6|8/) { 

@file=get_data($item); ##process and read the file
tab1($file[0], $file[1], $file[2], $file[3], $file[4]);
} #end if even#

else {
@file=get_data($item); ##process and read the file
tab2($file[0], $file[1], $file[2], $file[3], $file[4]);
} #end if odd#
} #end foreach#
