I want this to look at every csv file in the directory and append them all to each other in an output.txt. 
open(MYOUTFILE, ">output.txt"); #open for write, overwrite
my $filecount = 0;
my @filenames;

###code that assigns all the csv file names in the present folder 
#to an array and counts them

foreach $inputfilename (@filenames)
{
        open INPUT, "<$inputfilename";
        @lines = <INPUT>;
        close INPUT;
        
        foreach $row (@lines)
        {           
                 print MYOUTFILE ("$row\n");
        }
        
        close INPUT; 
}
close MYOUTFILE;
my $ovr = <STDIN>;
exit;

As you can see my weakness is actually getting all of the csv file names into an array. I think this is going to be solved with a map command but I wasn't able to figure it out myself.
