This code looks ok to me, but I keep getting a "Sorry can't open c:\Logs directory: Permission denied when trying to read this file. I made sure the correct permissions were set. Can anyone please help.

#!perl -w

use strict;
my $srcdir="c:\\Logs";
my @files=();

open(DIR, $srcdir) or
die "Sorry can't open $srcdir directory: $!\n";

@files=readdir(DIR) or
die "Unable to read directory $srcdir: $!\n";

closedir(DIR);

print "@files!\n";

Change

Code:
open(DIR, $srcdir)

to

Code:
opendir(DIR, $srcdir)

And you should be good to go...
