Hi , I have a DATA directory which contains files like this 
total 3
-rwxr-xr-x    1 me   unknown        26 Mar 12 09:53 Monday.db
-rwxr-xr-x    1 me   unknown        27 Mar 12 09:54 Tuesday.db
-rwxr-xr-x    1 me   unknown        26 Mar 12 09:54 Friday.db
-rwxr-xr-x    1 me   unknown        26 Mar 12 09:54 Dummy

I am trying to open the directory and read each file and print the output of each file: 

 my $INFOFILES = "$HOME/DATA";

my @files=glob "$INFOFILES/*\.db";
print " the files are @files\n";
    for( my $idx=0; $idx < $#files + 1; $idx ++ ) {
        $file = $files[$idx];
        &process_file($file);
    }

sub process_file { }

for some reason it is not storing any of the files under DATA inside the array @files. Any idea? thanks
