On my Windows 2000 I have a search that gets all files and subdirectories but doesnt get files that start with numbers. I have several files that are numbered such as:
001245AG.ppt
Here is my script: 
use strict;
use File::Find;


my $myfile = ">mytext.txt";
open(FILE,"$myfile") || "can not open: $!\n";
my $fil=0;
my $dir=0;


sub search
{
next if(($_ != m/^\.+$/) || ($_ != m/^ws\_ftp/i)); 
    {
    if (!-l && -d)
    { 
        print FILE "\n\nDIRECTORY\t\t$File::Find::name\n";
        print FILE "-----------------------------------------------\n"
+;
        $dir++;
    }
    else
    {
        print FILE "$_\n";
        $fil++;
    }
    
}
}

find(\&search, '/mydirectoryname');
print FILE "\n____________________________________\n";
print FILE "\n\nTotal Directory count = $dir.\n";
print FILE "\nTotal File count = $fil.\n";

close(FILE);
