I am trying to read in all files from a directory that begin with 4 numbers. They are all HTML pages that I want to make links out of. I am not sure how to differentiate the files based on this info. Here is where I am at so far. Sorry if the code is juvenile, but I am new to Perl and haven't quite got the full grasp on it. 

my $directory = 'Where/the/directory/is';

    opendir(DIR,$directory);
    my @files = grep { $_ ne '.' && $_ ne '..' }readdir DIR;
    closedir(DIR);
    foreach(@files)
    {
      print "<A HREF='$_'>$_</A>";
      print "<BR>";
    }

Any help would be appreciated...
