Did you turn the result of readdir (which is just the name within the selected directory) into a path by reattaching the directory name in front? If not, you're gonna get an odd response.

    Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. By referencing the full file path within the condition test, instead of just the name of the file, this works. I was mistakenly under the impression that by being positioned in that directory, on the direcory read, perl would resolve the file as to being a sub-directory or a file. But your method worked fine. Thanks again.
