Your question has been answered, this is my answer to the question you didn't (directly) ask, how can I easily find all (nonempty) files with a '.wgt' extension in a specified path.

use strict; use warnings; use File::Find::Rule; my $search_path = '.'; my @files = File::Find::Rule ->name('*.wgt') ->file ->nonempty ->in($search_path); foreach my $file (@files) { # do something with '$file' }

The downside is that File::Find::Rule is not a core module yet, but my opinion is that it should be. Anyway the great power of Perl stands in the huge library of modules on CPAN.
