Enter the name of the file containing the file names as a command-line
argument to your script. Then put the following in the script:

my @files = <>;
chomp(@files);

You now have an array of file names.

For more information see

perldoc perlop (and search for 'I/O Operators' and 'null filehandle')

Also look at

perldoc -f open

for alternate methods of reading a file.

If you have any more problems, please post a program. Thanks.
