Hello Alex many thanks for the answer.
well i put all to home > usr > perl the story as a whole: After a first trial i saw that i have troubles with the I-O-Handles and with the paths on the OpenSuse Linux version 11.3 i have to set the paths - and as being not very familiar with Perl and Linux either i decided to do some preliminary works with very very simple scripts....: here we go: i have two scripts – that are being created in order to find the right paths but i have no luck. The scripts are placed in home > usr > perl i have the two scripts a. perl_script_two.pl b. perl_script_three.pl And there also is the directory with the 20000 html-files. See further above. Well i found out that i made some mistakes while talking bout the html-files: Note: there are more than 20 000 Html files in the directory that is called htmlfiles [B]Note[/B] i renamed it to htmlfiles - instead of html.files Imortant: But the files itself are all named like the following sheme: einzelergebnis1... einzelergebnis2... einzelergebnis3a... einzelergebnis3b... einzelergebnis3d... You can see this in a consequent regard in the script two: Here i name it accordingly... my @files = File::Find::Rule->file() ->name('einzelergebnis*.html') So here we go: i start them in the console like the following and get the following results: see below! suse-linux:/usr/perl # perl perl_script_two.pl #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use diagnostics; use File::Find::Rule; my @files = File::Find::Rule->file() ->name('einzelergebnis*.html') ->in( '/home/usr/perl/htmlfiles' ); foreach my $file(@files) { print $file, "\n"; } Results: Can't stat /home/usr/perl/htmlfiles: No such file or directory at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.12.1/File/Find/Rule.pm line 594 i go crazy - what is wrong here!?
