Gooday, i have written a short program that searches for a given directory. This works fine as long as i use a directory that i designed especially for this purpose(C:\Strawberry). If i change this:

$mp = "C:/Strawberry/";

into this: $mp = "C:/";

my code no longer works. Does someone know why?

print "What folder?\n";
$term = <>;
chomp $term;
$mp = "C:/Strawberry/";
opendir($dh,$mp) || die "wtf??";
while( $tekst = readdir($dh)){
    if(-d "$mp$tekst" && $tekst !~ /^\./){
        if($term eq $tekst){
            print "found: $mp$tekst\n";
        }
        else{
            $hulp ="$mp$tekst";
            godeep($hulp);
        }
    }     
}
close $dh;    


sub godeep{
$fld = shift;
opendir($dir,$fld); 
while($tekst2= readdir($dir)){
    if(-d "$fld/$tekst2" && $tekst2 !~/^\./) {
        if($term eq $tekst2){
            print "found: $fld/$tekst2\n";
        }
        else{
            $hulp2 = "$fld/$tekst2";
            godeep($hulp2);
        }
    }    
}
}
