Good day kind monks, I seem to be having a problem with File:Find::name. In my testing on my local system 

use strict;
use warnings;
use File:Find;
use Data::Dumper;
my $base_path = ".";
sub dir_listing($)
{
  my ($path) = @_;
  my @results;
  finddepth
  ( sub
    { return (-d);
      push @results, $File:Find:name;
    },
    $path
  );
  return sort @results;
}
print Dumper(dir_listing($base_path));

This code gives me a nice recursive directory listing. The problem I am having is then I try to use this code on network samba share. I get nothing listed. When I remove the return -d I get a listing of the top directories but the code does not seem to be recursing down the tree.

When I use ~$ find ~/samba/Videos/Movies -type f i get a full dir listing of files from the samba share so I am pretty sure my connection is working. I have tried using find2perl on my find command and the code it produces has the same problem .

Any comments would help I need something to jog my mind in a different direction. And thanks for your time.
