Hey, I have a dir of 10 files (same number of lines, words in lines but different data) and I would like to go thru that dir in a loop and create multidimensional array of all files. Any way to do it? With one file I just do I could walk thru all files and add line by line as an element moving thru the 2d array but I am looking for more elegant solution, something like below though it is missing this important piece of code: 
my @combinedData;
my @currentFile;
my @filesList = <*>;

foreach my $file (@filesList) {
   open(F, "file.txt") or die("Unable to open file");
   @currentFile = <F>;
   # HOW TO COMBINE IT INTO @combinedData ?
   # if I do it thru a reference the content 
   # will change in the next loop when I modify @currentFile
   # again
   ...
}
