Reading files from the parent directory

[supra91]

Hi,
I have to read files from the parent directory and delete those files. This parent directory contains logs files. This directory also contains some sub directories and I do not want to delete files from these sub directories. I am using this code
opendir(DIR, $lpath);
@flist = readdir(DIR);
closedir(DIR);
when I do this @flist also contains files from sub directories and I do want that.
How can I avoid reading files from the sub directories. Any help is appriciated.

First, whenever you post ANY code to the forum, please be sure and place it withing the appropriate code tags as described on the right in the editor window.

Instead of trying to "open" the directory, why not just use the File::Util module from CPAN? It will probably do what you want to do, just read the help page.

You are mistaken. That will read only the file names and folder names in the directory you open. It will not open any sub directories and read the names of anything in them. If you are getting files/folders of sub directories included in the output then you are doing something different than what you posted.
