Hi, I'm very new to perl and am trying to write a script that will basically say "look in a folder and if the file that is in that folder is the same as any of the files in a second folder then rename the first file by adding an "_1". There will always only be one file in the first folder but can be many in the second folder. I wrote the code below but it doesn't seem to do anything. Help would be appreciated. Thanks! 

#! /usr/bin/perl
use diagnostics; 

$tempdir="c:/Temp/OneFile";
opendir(TMP, $tempdir) || die;
@onefile= readdir(TMP);
closedir(TMP);

$permdir="c:/Support/Files";
opendir(PMD, $permdir) || die;
@allfiles= readdir(PMD);
closedir(PMD);

our @onefile_1;

foreach $file (@allfiles)
{
 if ($file eq "@onefile")
{ 
 rename("$onefile", "@onefile_1.txt");
}
}
exit(0);

__END__
