Hi All,
I need to read multiple files from a directory for
input and I am interested in all sec*.csv files. My
script now reads only one file. 
 $LOGDIR = 'C:\temp\logs';

 open(INPUT, "$LOGDIR\\sec-ghost01-12-09-2004-21-43.csv") || die ("can
+not open log file\n");
 foreach my $line (<INPUT>) {
   chomp($line);
   process each line
 }

[download]

Also, the files are zipped. Is there a way I can
unzip it inside my perl script before reading? I am
running this script
on Windows 2003 using activeperl and I have a
command line gunzip utility.
