Hello, i have a directory 'DAX' with pdf files: adidas Q4.pdf, puma Q1.pdf, nike Q3.pdf. I would like to process them one by one, but i'm having difficulties to call them by the second subroutine. 

&open_dir('DAX', '/da/transcripts/DAX');

sub open_dir {
    $somedir=shift;
    $dirname=shift;
    
    opendir $somedir, $dirname or die 'Cannot open $dirname: $!';
    
    while(  $file = readdir $somedir) {
           
                print "$file\n" if -T "$dirname/$file";
        
                &build_string($file);
    }
}

sub build_string {
    my $transcript=shift;

    use CAM::PDF;
    my $pdf = CAM::PDF->new($transcript);

    my $page_number=$pdf->numPages();
    print "$page_number\n";

    for (1..$page_number) {
        my $text=$pdf->getPageText($_);
        my $conc_text.=$text;
        print "$conc_text\n";
    }
}
