Hi All,

I wrote a small piece of code which ideally (to my understanding anyway) be working. Basically what it does (supposed to) is recurse folders from the current dir, making a symlink in each one to a file given on the command line. It's working at the moment, but it wont go deeper then one level, although output says otherwise.
Here's the code: 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use File::Find;

if (!-f $ARGV[0]) { die "File \"$ARGV[0]\" does not exist"; }

sub wanted
{
  if (length $_ == 1)  { return; }
  if (-d) {
    $temp = '../' x (split(/\//,$File::Find::name) - 1).$ARGV[0];
    $target = $File::Find::name.'/'.$ARGV[0];
    print $target," -> ",$temp,"\n";
    symlink($temp,$target);
  }
}

find(\ &wanted,'.');

The output seems fine: 
shell# ./recurlink.pl index.php
./Automotive/index.php -> ../index.php
./Automotive/Mechanics/index.php -> ../../index.php
./Banking_and_Finance/index.php -> ../index.php
./Fast_Food_and_Groceries/index.php -> ../index.php
./Fast_Food_and_Groceries/Take_Away_Shops/index.php -> ../../index.php
./House_and_Building/index.php -> ../index.php
./Educational_Institutions/index.php -> ../index.php
shell#
but on inspection, only the 1st level symlinks are created. none of the others exist.
any help muchly appreciated.
thanks
