If you're going to say the code is bad, at least suggest a fix. Fortunately ZZamboni already has.

    My "fix" is the normal fix. Use File::Find, or suggest patches to it if it doesn't work the way you want. That way I don't have to review every line of your code in code-review to find out if you've broken it on some platforms, or introduced a security hole.

    The cost of revinventing the wheel is not just in development, but in every phase afterward: testing, documenting, production, and maintenance.

      Thanks. Althought "the normal fix" may be apparent to you, it may not be as apparent to the many other people who read the site.
