Thanks for the help. So I cannot use an array or hash in angle
brackets as file handle. I have a variable amount of files which I'd
like opened and the contents shuffled. What would be the best way to
do this as my next idea also did not work? 

_BEGIN_

@files=`ls /app2/koekemtn/scripts/dbstats/test`;
$num =1;

foreach $line ( @files ) {

        chomp $line;
        open ( $line , "$line") || die "Cannot open $files[0]\n";
        $file$num = $line;   # Problem assignment!
}
_END_


TIA
