Simple Shell Scripting
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data:

An argument example:
../path/cse/lab3/remove

Right now, it's printing out all the directory and files in 'lab3'.
I want it to print out all the files in 'remove'.
I'm not sure how to do that. (I want to use a for loop)


2. Relevant commands, code, scripts, algorithms:

done

fi

DESCRIPTION

       This is a "CPANPLUS::Shell::Default" plugin that can add custom sources to your CPANPLUS installation. This is a wrapper around the "custom
       module sources" code as outlined in "CUSTOM MODULE SOURCES" in CPANPLUS::Backend.

       This allows you to extend your index of available modules beyond what's available on "CPAN" with your own local distributions, or ones
       offered by third parties.
