Well, there's two methods that I use where I can and they are probably more portable.

glob works well most of the time:
@files = </directory/goes/here/*>;
But it has problems with large numbers of files. And the problems will cause it to fail badly.

The other is to opendir and read in a loop.

In either case you need to remove the '.' and '..' entries:

@files = grep {! /^\./} </directory/goes/here/*>

or something like that.

I should warn you, not only is this untested code, but I haven't even had my coffee yet.
