in reply to Can I open a specific file (eg. '.log') without knowing the actual name of it?

What you're looking for is called globbing. Warning - this will get all files with *.log..
use strict; my @loglist; #put all *.log files in the array @loglist = <./*.log>;

Then you know what each file name is..

Hope this helps..
