I have a requirement to read each of the files from a directory and pass

requirement is such that my perl script should keep running in the

target directory, pass that as a parameter to my perl script, process it and
write the output to a different directory.
Ex:- $cd success
success>$ls
success>file1 file2 file3 file4 file5
$cd
home>perl test.pl /home/success/file1
home>perl test.pl /home/success/file2
...
...
Please suggest how to go about this. Are there any perl modules to scan
through a directory and pick each of the files to process.
Once the file is taken from the input directory and processed and output
written to a different output directory, I can delete that file from the
input directory.
A Perl program can easily find what files are in a directory and process and
delete each of them. I think that is the way to go rather than having an
external program calling a Perl script to process the files one by one. Is
there any reason why you can't do this?
