Greetings wonderfull people.

I have a DIR with several .data files in it.
I hoped to extract the data files to a scrolling list like so 
opendir(HOMEDIR, "\interest") ||
die ("Unable to open directory");
while ($filename = readdir(HOMEDIR)) {
    

print scrolling_list('name',[$filename]);

            }
closedir(HOMEDIR);

This resulted in creating a separate scrolling list for each file in the DIR.
Very untidy
I have seen arrays printed in textboxes before
So I then tried this.
opendir(HOMEDIR, "\interest") ||
die ("Unable to open directory");
while ($filename = readdir(HOMEDIR)) {
    
@array = $filename;
print scrolling_list('name',[@array]);

            }
closedir(HOMEDIR);

However this resulted in exactly the same thing
A separate scrolling box for each file .
Whats the trick here guys.
How do we lock the little critters in one scrolling box.
