I was trying to understand what you are attempting to do, but don't at all. Is this being run as a CGI; if not, why does the the error message for the first open have <br>? (It won't print to the browser because there is no content type line.) What does the comment "#dont move unless its a file of folder" mean? What do the files listed in dissmissed2.txt have to do with the entries in @thefiles? I don't understand what your last foreach loop is doing; it looks like for each $f in @thefiles (except . and ..), you are trying to do the same operations on the files listed in dismissed2.txt (but it looks like it will only be successful the first time.); isn't this latter file always the same independent of the value of $f?
If I'm just being dense, please excuse...it's getting to be past my bedtime; but I've been looking at this for a while, and I can't make any sense of it.
