Another possibility which may not apply in your situation is to run a straight recursive directory listing into a text file then write a perl script to parse that.
The fastest of course would be to run the listing on the remote machine and then transfer the listing file to the local machine.
Second fastest might be to do the listing over the network and save the output locally and run a parsing script on that. Of course if an over the network directory listing takes 5 hours to complete you don't save a lot of time.

push(@files) if /\.sgml$/;

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).
