I have a DIR in the cgi-bin called start
The DIR holds several files
12345.data
12346.data
12347.data
I would like to print the contents of this DIR
As a list
12345.data
12346.data
12347.data
I don’t need to see inside the files
Just print a list of the file names.
I have tried 
opendir DIR, "start" or die "Can't open: $!";
    my @files = grep { /\.txt\z/ } readdir DIR;
closedir DIR;



print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

foreach my $file (@files) {
    open FILE, $file or die "Can't open file: $!";
    while (<FILE>) {
        print $_;
    }
}

However it prints nothing
Where am I going wrong I think it cant see my DIR.
I have tried various way to tell it where the DIR is
Like so
opendir DIR, "start" or die "Can't open: $!";
opendir DIR, "start/" or die "Can't open: $!";
opendir DIR, "/start" or die "Can't open: $!";
opendir DIR, "C:/Apache2/cgi-bin/start" or die "Can't open: $!";
opendir DIR, "http://localhost/cgi-bin/start" or die "Can't open: $!";
But nope it still cant see my DIR
Going mad with this ..Nasa.
