I am writing a foreach loop with the Win32-DirSize PM. If I provide $f directly the script finds the size of the directory, however when I have a list of directories in a file and open the the script does not find the $f input.

Please help. 

dir.txt = [ dir1.txt, dir2.txt, dir3.txt]

use Win32::DirSize;
open (FILE, "dir.txt") || die "can not open file\n";
chomp (@file = <FILE>);
close FILE;
#$f = "dir1"; # If I unpound this and pound out the foreach #loop work
+s.
foreach $f (@file) {
     my $Result = dir_size(
    $f,
       my $DirInfo, 
     );
