Hi all,
I have a problem that I don't think I can solve (I don't understand what's wrong), so I decided to ask for your help. I have the following piece of code (which uses an open connection from Mail::Cclient with parameters the connection -$imap- and the foldername -$fname-) :

sub foldertree($$) {
 my ($imap,$fname) = @_;
 my $count=0;
 my $new=0;
 my $unread=0;
 my @folders=();
 set_callback(
  list => sub {
   my @tmp = split ('}',$_[2]);
   push (@folders, $tmp[1]);
  },
  status => sub {
   $count = $_[3];
   $new = $_[5];
   $unread = $_[7];
  }
 );
 $imap->list("{hostname:143/imap}$fname",'%');
 my @topfolders = @folders;
 my @folderlist;
 foreach my $f (sort @topfolders) {
  $imap->status("{hostname:143/imap}$f",
   "messages","recent","unseen");
  my %foldhash= (
   'name' => $f,
   'count' => $count,
   'new' => $new,
   'unread' => $unread
  );
  my @subfolders=&foldertree($imap,$f);
  my $fc=@subfolders;
  $foldhash{'fc'} = $fc;
  $foldhash{'subfolders'} = @subfolders;

  @folderlist = (@folderlist, \%foldhash);
 }
 return @folderlist;
}

Later, when I iterrate the @folderlist, I notice that all the count, new and unread values are set to zero (0) but the numbers are not correct... If, though, I skip the stage where I recursively call the sub in order to get the subfolders, it works like a charm (but I don't have the subfolder info which I need). I also tried modifying the sub as follows (only appropriate part provided):

 foreach my $f (sort @topfolders) {
  $imap->status("{hostname:143/imap}$f",
   "messages","recent","unseen");
  my $new_count=$count;
  my $new_new=$new;
  my $new_unread=$unread;
  my %foldhash= (
   'name' => $f,
   'count' => $new_count,
   'new' => $new_new,
   'unread' => $new_unread
  );
  my @subfolders=&foldertree($imap,$f);
  my $fc=@subfolders;
  $foldhash{'fc'} = $fc;
  $foldhash{'subfolders'} = @subfolders;

but it didn't make any difference. Any good ideas? I think something is wrong with the scope of the variables, but if that's the case, then why does the second example have problem as well? Thanks in advance
