Hello I am basically trying to list all the files present in a given directory that ends with ".fasta" extension. But somehow I am not getting the whole file name....instead just getting the extension ".fasta", thus omitting the name of file before ".fasta" extension. However when I myself create a new file manually, say "a.fasta", it is being printed completely. Can anyone suggest me why the file created via perl code is not being grabbed by the glob function?? My code is 

while(my $key = each %seqInfo)
{
my $nameWithoutFastaSign = $key;
$nameWithoutFastaSign =~ tr/>//d;

my $currentDir = getcwd;
chdir "$currentDir/$nameWithoutFastaSign";
my $changedDir = getcwd;
print "changed directory is: $changedDir\n";

while($fastaFile = glob("*.fasta"))
{
print "$fastaFile\n";
}

chdir "$currentDir";
}

and the output shown is

changed directory is: /home/ammarah/Documents/code/1elwA
.fasta
changed directory is: /home/ammarah/Documents/code/1ghwA
.fasta
changed directory is: /home/ammarah/Documents/code/1flwA
.fasta

There should be a complete file name, which is similar to folder name eg "1elwA.fasta" instead of simple ".fasta". Can anyone help me please??
