CGI perl links to files in Dir


I'm in the middle of writing my first perl script.(had to happen sometime)
So far when i click submit the script makes an HTML page that has the same look as the rest of the pages on my site.
and thats pretty swell. Now i need to read the contents of a DIR
and make a link to each file in that DIR. I've been trying to implement
readdir(), but not having much luck. I will gladly affero pay someone for helping me out with this as soon as I get paid for the job.
this is the relevant part of the script so far:

-------code-------
find( sub
{
return if($_ =~ /^\./);
return unless($_ =~ /\$filetype/i);
stat $File::Find::name;
return if -d;
return unless -r;

opendir(DIR, $scandir) or return;
readdir(DIR);
my $file_name = $1;
closedir(DIR);

print "<li><a href=\"$File::Find::name\">$file_name</a></li>\n";
},
'$scandir');
-----end---code-----

$filetype is defined by a popup in the form (and working properly)
$scandir is defined at the head of the script

thanks alot(and yes i do know that i'm a hack)

holy crap I got it to work!!!!!

So sorry for the false alarm but i figured it out!
Here is what worked just so this isn't a totally useless post

undef $/;

opendir(DNAME, "/blackhole/movies/featurefilms") || die "Unable to open the requested directory";

while( $filename = readdir(DNAME) ) {
print "<p>$filename<p>\n";
}

closedir(DNAME);

thanks anyway
