How to display contents of folder when 'cd' is used

Hi,

I am a new learner of Unix. I am currently working on a Solaris 8 machine. Earlier, when I use 'cd <folder name>' command, I am not only able to change the folder but also able to see the contents of the folder as if a 'ls -lt' command was executed. However, since a week, suddenly this behavior is changed. On 'cd <folder name>' command, I am able to change the directory but NOT able to view its contents.

Is there any variable that need to be set to some value. Can someone help me.. pls..!!

Thanks in advance,
Uma

Type the above and see...

Create this in a new thread and put CODE tages round the perl script to prevent the forums stripping out spaces

Edit: Ah, I see you have:
