Can anyone explain to me why i keep getting this error: Permission denied at temp.pl line 20. On this piece of code: 
opendir(LOGS, "/perl/ass/")|| die "dir not found";   #Opens the folder
+ containing the log files
      @logfiles = readdir(LOGS);#Puts the name of all files into an ar
+ray
    closedir(LOGS);
      $currentlog = "/perl/ass/@logfiles[$hour]";
      chmod (0777, $currentlog); # << shouldnt this give me permission
+?!?!    
    open(CURRENTLOG, $currentlog)|| die "file not found: $!"; # << THI
+S IS LINE 20

I'm doing this on a windows platform by the way I have tried so many different things :(
