Anonymous,
The following function seems to fit your description
# recursively operate on files
use DirHandle;
sub go_in
{
my $dir = shift;
# -- this just flips the toothpicks, in case
# we're in windows. It's not really necessary.
$dir =~ tr/\\/\//;
# -- and this just adds a trailing slash, for
# concatenating later.
if ($dir !~ m/\/$/){
$dir .= '/';
}
my $dh = new DirHandle ($dir);
# or die, I suppose.
return unless $dh;
while ( defined( my $item = $dh->read )) {
next if $item =~ m/\.$/;
$item = $dir.$item;
# paranoid about symlinks.
next if -l $item;
# -- call recursively, but not forever:
# (discard visited directories)
if ( -d $item ){
go_in($item);
next;
}
# -- operate on files here -- #
}
}
DirHandle is a very simple module, suitable for simple tasks.
updated: edited out some playful peculiarities.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
