First off, "doesn't work" is not an error description becoming to a professional programmer. How did it "not work"? Core dump? File not found? Syntax error? Interpreter having a bad day? Other?

You might as well start with developing good habits and this includes: analysis of an error includes to describe everything related to it: the error messages, other diagnostic messages, description of what happened, etc., etc..

In your case most probably this:

Code:

@files = (<*.tmideg0> <*.tmideg1>);

is the culprit: file(name)s starting with a "." are not expanded by usual file globs. Try:

Code:

@files = (<.*tmideg0> <.*tmideg1>);

to include files starting with a "." and ending in "tmideg0", i.e. ".tmideg0", ".bla-footmideg0", etc. into your glob.

I hope this helps.
