Code Perl script for finding directories with mtime
Need assistance in the perl script . Below script gives me the results of all the files and directories with mtime with no issues . But i wanted to have a file and specify all the directory locations and use that file as reference and get results . Any ideas are highly Appreciated .

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use warnings;
use strict;
use Time::Local;
use File::Copy;

my @dirs = ("<path1>","<path2>","<path3>");
my %seen;
while (my $pwd = shift @dirs) {
    opendir(DIR,"$pwd") or die "Cannot open $pwd\n";
    my @files = readdir(DIR);
    closedir(DIR);
    foreach my $file (@files) {
        if (-d $file and ($file !~ /^\.\.$ARGV[0]$/) and !$seen{$file}) {
            $seen{$file} = 1;
            push @dirs, "$pwd/$file";
        }
        next if ($file !~ /\.$ARGV[0]$/i);
        my $mtime = (stat("$pwd/$file"))[9];
        print   "$pwd \t $file \t", scalar(localtime($mtime));
        print "\n";
    }
}

here what i tried as an example and implemented the same on the main script . But it works with only one path not multiple paths
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
open (my $fh, '<', 'test.txt') || die "Could not open test.txt: $!\n";
my @test = grep { $_ !~ /^#/ } <$fh>;
print @test;

pwd

pwd(1)								   User Commands							    pwd(1)

NAME

       pwd - return working directory name

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/bin/pwd

DESCRIPTION

       The pwd utility writes an absolute path name of the current working directory to standard output.

       Both the Bourne shell, sh(1), and the Korn shell, ksh(1), also have a built-in pwd command.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       See  environ(5)	for  descriptions  of the following environment variables that affect the execution of pwd: LANG, LC_ALL, LC_MESSAGES, and
       NLSPATH.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	Successful completion.

       >0	An error occurred.

       If an error is detected, output will not be written to standard output, a diagnostic message will be written to	standard  error,  and  the
       exit status will not be	0.

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

SEE ALSO

       cd(1), ksh(1), sh(1), shell_builtins(1), attributes(5), environ(5), standards(5)

DIAGNOSTICS

       ``Cannot open ..'' and ``Read error in ..'' indicate possible file system trouble and should be referred to a UNIX system administrator.

NOTES

       If  you move the current directory or one above it,  pwd may not give the correct response. Use the  cd(1) command with a full path name to
       correct this situation.
