Hi there Monks!
I am puzzled with a simple issue here (not for me I guess), I need to list all the files in a directory and print the counts, lets say in this directory are 25 files, I would print the file name and "1 of 25 file name 1", "2 of 25 file name 2" till it reaches the last file, "25 of 25 file name 25". Cant figure this one!
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

my $dir = "/mydir";

my $counter=0;
opendir(DIR, $dir) or die $!;

    while (my $file = readdir(DIR)) {     
        # just files
        next unless (-f "$dir/$file");
        $counter++;
        print "$counter of $counter - $file\n";
    }

closedir(DIR);
exit 0;

Thanks for the help!
