How to read a directory and it's files

[bluewavessurf]

I want to implement a Perl Program that takes a directory path, ex (d:\programs) as an INPUT and this directory could have multiple files for this program let’s say 5 files (doc1, doc2, doc3, doc4, and doc5). This program should print the average time to open and read all these five files into OUTPUT. How can I read the files in blocks of 64 KB?

Please post the code that you have tried thus far and we will guide you to learning how to do this.

opendir MYDIR, "c:\data";
@contents = readdir MYDIR;
closedir MYDIR;

foreach $listitem ( @contents )
{
  print $listitem;
}

But I am not sure if I am going correct way and kind of lost

opendir(DIR,"c:/data") or die "Error: $!";
@files = readdir(DIR);
closedir(DIR);

foreach $file (@files) {
   print $file;
}
