Here is probably what you are looking for.
my $CurrentDir="."; # Or "Sanjay"; opendir DH, "." or die "failed to readdir $CurrentDir: $!"; while($temp = readdir(DH)) { print "$temp\n"; if ($temp eq "." or $temp eq ".." or -d $temp){ next; # Do not open . or .. } open FILE, "$CurrentDir/$temp" or die "failed to open file $temp:$! +\n"; print "pass"; while(<FILE>) { print "sucess: $_"; } }
Normally - I would not code this way - this is written to help you get past initial roadblocks.

UPDATE: Changed while(<$temp>) to while(<FILE>).
This makes more sense, and is probably what you were trying to do.

Also, as merlyn says, the "opendir" and "while($temp=readdir..." can be replaced with :

while (glob "$CurrentDir/*"){ $temp = $_; # Remainder of the code is the same.
