    You forgot to include your code so far and details of exactly where you are having problems. – Mark Parnell Apr 19 '13 at 02:59

Another way is to use glob:

my @files = <*>;

This will give you all of the files in the current directory.

This method is convenient if you only want to find certain files:

my @jpegs = <*.jpg>;

If that isn't the directory you want, change to the current directory or include the path:

my @files = </foo/bar*>;

Note that you should use forward slashes even if doing this on Windows.

Try the following:

opendir FOLDER, $folder or die "Cant open folder $folder: $!";
my @file= readdir FOLDER;
closedir FOLDER;
