Hi, I am new to perl. Infact just 2 days old. I am trying to make a script to list recursively the files in the directories. The problem is very simple but i still can't get what is the problem. Right now i have written only these lines: 
$dirname = "C:/Perl/Test"; 
opendir(DIR,$dirname);
 @file1 = readdir(DIR);
 foreach $file1(@file1) 
{ if (-f $file1) { 
print("$file1\n"); } }

but the if condition is not working and its returning nothing in the output. However if i remove the if, it is printing the list of all files and directories. Can anybody tell what is the problem in it?
