I'm trying to print all the files and directories within a directory(including files and directories in subdirectories. this is my code;
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
my $dir = 'C:\Users\test\Dropbox\Perl';
print_rec($dir);
sub print_rec {
opendir DIR, shift;
while( readdir(DIR) )
{
if(!/\.|\.\./ && -d $_)
{
print "$_ is a directory\n";
return print_rec($_);
}
elsif (!-d) { print "$_ \n"; }
}
}
My program stops after the it reaches the first
deepest level, actually it not returns at the previous level. What am i doing wrong. Understanding this will help
me understand how the stack trace works in perl. Thanks !!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
