Hi,

I have a script that uses File::Find to recursively access directories and their contents.

The problem that I am facing in this is that when I have a list of directories in a directory, the find is accessing directories in an unexpected manner. I do not know the reason why.

The code snippet of my script is:-

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use File::Find;
find(\&wanted,'/root/data');
sub wanted
{
    if ($_=~ /^CPU-MEM/){
            chdir($_);
            my $dir=cwd();
            my @files=<$dir/*>;
            my $count=@files;
            if($count<4){
                system('/usr/bin/perl /root/scripts/a.pl');
                system('/usr/bin/perl /root/scripts/b.pl');
            }
            chdir("..");
        }
    }

Now, I have a directory data in which if i copy three directories - dir1 dir2 dir3. The processing is happening in this order:-

dir3
dir1
dir2

[download]

I want the recursion to occur in the same order as they are available in the data directory since there are dates in the subdirectories of data which must be printed in that order.

Is it possible to make File::Find perform my job as i require it to? If yes, How?

Thanks in advance for ur time.
