You can use the globbing (shell pattern matching) magic of the <>
operator to get the names of the files. Try this to see how it works.
while (<sn.????>) {
print "$_\n";
}
This prints every filename which matches the glob pattern "sn.????" in the current
directory. I'll leave it as an exercise how you open each of the files.
To only match filenames with numeric extensions, you can get more
sophisticated with the pattern matching. e.g. "sn.[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]".
