So, first question is why is this happenning ? Then how do I fix it ?

What is happening that you didn't want to happen? What is NOT happening that you did want to happen?

Also,
there are just a handful of files BUT they are ever changing, so I would
like to not list the statically in the code. Would a
@lists = qw (`ls /usr/local/dir`);

work ?

No, because qw() creates the list ( '`ls', '/usr/local/dir`' ) but this would work:

chomp( my @lists = qx(ls /usr/local/dir) );


But this would work a lot better:

my @lists = glob '/usr/local/dir/*';
