in thread How to perform recursion in any OS?
I prefer Path::Class for listing directories:
use Path::Class qw(dir); my @files = map {$_->basename} dir($path)->children;
Also check out the docs (perldoc Path::Class::Dir) about the "recurse" function.
In any case, there are many other reasons why you should never write code like `ls -a $path`. Have you thought about the possibility that $path includes the string "; rm -rf /"?
