OK, I'm getting the hang of this format--I guess instead of a preview per se, I have a lag time for editing.... Anyway, in regards to using -r -x (or other tests), that will keep me from churning them through the subroutine, like so: `find ( \&procfile, @DIRS ); sub procfile { return if ! -r -x; # do something to everything else here }` [download] But I am wondering how to keep Find::File from attempting to enter unpermitted subdirectories before they get processed by the subroutine. Prost!	[reply] [d/l]
