What I want to do is that I have a tar file which in turn has many .tgz files inside it .i want to extract the big tar file and then for each .tgz file i want to run 4 Perl scripts.after i run these scripts i get 2 text files which are of interest to me .So if i iterate for 20 .tgz files i should get 40 .txt files in all but the problem with this code is iam getting text files for only the first run?that is i am getting only two text files from the entire process 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Archive::Tar;
my (@files,$i,$name,$ext,@filelist,@textfiles);
my $tar = Archive::Tar->new();
$tar->read('some.tar');
$tar->extract();
my $tar1 = Archive::Tar->new();
@files=<*.tgz>; 
for $i(0..$#files)
{  
   $tar1->read("$files[$i]");
   $tar1->extract();            #untar .tgz files
   @filelist=<*.txt>;       
   system("perl script1.pl ");    #run 4 scripts on the files and get 
+the data                                     #from files
   system("perl script2.pl ");
   system("perl script3.pl ");
   system("perl script4.pl ");
   @textfiles=("file1.txt","file2.txt");
   unlink @textfiles;     #remove unwanted textfiles from the director
+y
   unlink @filelist;      #remove the extracted files
}
