Re^2: Shorter/Better way to rename list of files in a directory

This code i got from you guys at this forum but it gives me these errors. " Global symbol "@fileList" requires explicit package name at ./RenamingFiles.pl line 16. Execution of ./RenamingFiles.pl aborted due to compilation errors." so what is the wrong with the Array @fileList

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use IO::File;

        
        my $dir="/Users/user/Desktop/Internet Programing Course/intern
+et_programming/73/";

        #chdir $dir or die "Error \n";

        my @filesList= glob "${dir}*Closed*";

        foreach (@fileList){
                next if -d;
                my $oldname= $_;
                s/Closed/Open/;
                rename $oldname, $_;

        }

... And rightfully so. You misspelled filesList (or fileList). You tell Perl you want to use a variable named @filesList in `my @filesList = ...` [download] But then use a different, undeclared name. Because you are using the "strict" pragma, Perl knows that you want to be notified of such spelling errors.	[reply] [d/l]
