When using readdir(), it is necessary to prefix each item read with the $path passed to opendir().

Also, notice the backticks (backquotes?) in:

  if(`-d $fname`)

which (if not a typo in JoeCool's original code) effectively send the -d $fname as a command to the shell. Probably not what he intended.
