If your array contains ten elements then that will also use the eleventh element. Why not just loop over the elements of the array itself instead of using an index variable? If you really need an index variable then the perlish way to do it is: for my $i ( 0 .. $#filelst ) { > $filelst[$i] =~ s/\s//; You are removing a single whitespace character from the variable $filelst[$i].

You can also use / instead of \\ for path separators. if ( -z "$indir/$filelst[$i]" ) { print " $indir/$filelst[$i]\n"; unlink "$indir/$filelst[$i]"; > next; > }..................
