Re: Directory recursion on win32

Your recursion code is ok - you have to specify the path for "rename":

rename(
  $PWD . "\\" . $DirItem,
  $PWD . "\\" . $Formatted
);

Ahh, okay that has gained me an extra level of recursion. Can i get confirmation that $PWD will take on the new pwd on each recursion not, maintain the previous value? (i'm not fully understanding the practical differences between $def, my $def, and my ($def) )	[reply]

`sub Recurse { my ($PWD) = @_;` [download] This makes $PWD exist only during this call to this block. Recurrent calls will create new versions of $PWD. The parenthesis make a list, and $PWD is the first value. This list gets aliased to the values in the `@_` list, such that `$PWD = $_[0]`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
