I needed to go through a directory finding files without a string in them, easy I thought, but kept getting the error message after 30 files.

Permission denied Found to be obsolete at find.pl line 13.

The file it stops at does not appear to be any different and there are sub directories which I don't need to search

heres the code 
foreach my $file (readdir(DIR)){
    
    if($file ne '.' and $file ne '..' and ! (-d $file)){
        print "$file\n";
        #below is line 13 ithe original program
        open FILE, $dir.$file or die "$! $file";
        
        foreach my $line (<FILE>){
            
            if ($line =~ /use SBSDBRUN/){
                
                $found = $file;
                last;
            }
        }
        if (! $found ){
            
            push @files, $file;
        
        }
        undef ($found);
        close FILE;
    }
}
