I am by no means a perl expert but one way to do this in perl would be..
@files = split /\n/,`/bin/ls -1 ./new/*.txt`;
foreach $file (@files){
#process files here
}
>Another thing I need to know how to delete a file in Perl, I looked up the
Perl Docs' on >perl.com but the delete command talks about hashed file
records and so on and no to do >a basic DEL FILE...????
I think the function you are looking for is unlink.
Documentation for perl's in built functions should be available via
man perlfunc
