Grep all files in dir!	Can't Post

I used this code in a sxript on a UNIX machine.

# Read $datafile dir
if (open(DATA,"$datafile")) {
@data = grep(/\.cart/,readdir(DATA));
close(DATA);
}
else {
my_die("Error in subroutine cleanup_user_carts: Can't open $datafile",$!);
}

It worked fine!
Now I try it on a Windows2000 machine and I get a permission denied error.

Can this code not be used on a NT (Windws2000( machine?

When so what code can de used to get a list of all files in a specified dir $datafile with the extension .cart?

open and close are for use with files only. If you want to read directories, use opendir and closedir. Have a look at perldoc -f readdir for an example.
