Dear Monks,

I have some code as follows. 

      opendir(DIR_C,"$input_directory") or die $!;
      while(my $job_C=readdir(DIR_C)){   
                
        next unless   $job_C =~ /$tag\.txt$/;
         
        my $job_out;
        my $job_new_name; 
        my $job_out_complete;
        my $job_out_complete_B;
        
        
        
        if ($job_C =~ /(.{36})\.txt$/)
          {           
           Check_file_name_conditions ($job_C, $node);                
+     
           next unless ($do_I_pick_up_request == 'Y' && $When_process_
+request== 'Now');

I have a couple of questions relating to this:

Is the last next unless statement used correctly? I want it to go to the next iteration in the while loop.

Am I right in assuming that $do_I_pick_up_request and $When_process_request will have been picked up when returned from the Check_file_name_conditions sub using  return ($do_I_pick_up_request, $When_process_request)?
