Read only Files in a Directory

[Newbee21369]

I'm trying to read only files in a directory. I have tried the code below but still having issues. Any suggestions?
#### Need to keep this code unchanged
opendir DIR, "Whatever/path";
@files=grep { !/^\.+$/ } readdir(DIR);
closedir DIR;

####Need to return only files in code shown below. I have tried -f $file, !-d $file, -e$file in my if condition and it is still returning Files and directories.

foreach $file (@files)
{
if (-f $file)
{
#print whatever
}
}

You're checking -f $file from the current directory. $file doesn't exist relative to your script, it exists inside of "Whatever/path"

if (-f "Whatever/path/$file")
