(jeffa) 3Re: searching all directories with perl

Sorry, didn't mean to sound like i was arguing against recursion. Quite the contrary, recursion rules. I simply was pointing out that recursion is not easy, especially when first introduced to it. Remember, telling someone to use File::Find or File::Find::Rule is telling them to use recursion. ;)

It's more like telling them "you need recursion, but it's hard to get right, so use this module which does the dirty work for you". Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]
