As you could at least search and get here: How do I read all the file names of a directory into an array? `opendir DIR, $dir or die "cannot open dir $dir: $!"; my @file= readdir DIR; closedir DIR;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

That's the part you could try to search for yourself. i'm not going to write code for you, i point to a direction you could search for. (and learn perl this way) If a simple thing like reading a dir, and or changing / adding the filnames to an array is to hard for you, i will help. But if you don't want to put any effort in searching for examples, show what you tried till now, i don't even want to help.	[reply]
