This chunk of code, using READDIR, nicely reads in the contents of the top level the directory, places it into an array then prints it back out. However, READDIR on Win32 ( and everywhere else I would assume) does NOT read into the sub-directories. Just the top level. How does one accomplish this?

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use FileHandle;

my $localdir="c:\\temp";
opendir  LOCALDIR, "$localdir";
my @local_files = grep !/^\.\.?$/, readdir LOCALDIR;
closedir LOCALDIR;
my $n=@local_files;
for (my $i=0; $i<$n; $i++){
   print "$local_files[$i]\n"; 
}
