Here's my problem:

I use "foreach $FILE (@files)" to read all the files from a certain directory. Now, inside this for, I call a "system" command, and when I control+C inside that command, I jump out of the foreach loop.

The problem now is, after jumping out, the directory is slightly altered, files have been moved, but if I do another foreach after the 1st one, it only sees the files that were there BEFORE the 1st foreach.

I think that sounded a little confusing, but here's the meat: I have 2 files, I enter the 1st foreach, inside it I move one of them. I jump out of the 1st foreach, then when entering the 2nd it still sees 2 files, when there's only one there.
