Greetings,

having only been programming with Perl for a week. I decided to write a Perl program to check for files on my Windows 2K server that have not been accessed in a certain amount of time (i.e. 10 days in this example) and store there names in a log file. Everything works great, expect I can not figure out how to read the filenames in subdirectories. I am using Perl 5.8.0 under Windows XP. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Here is my novice code: 

opendir(HERE, '.');
open(OUT, '>fileout.txt') or die "Couldn't open the " .
"fileout.txt file for writing.\n";
@AllFiles = readdir(HERE);
foreach $Name (@AllFiles) {
# If directory skip to next filename
    if(-d $Name) { next }
    $FileAcc = sprintf('%3d', -A $Name);
# Check for files that have been accessed in the last 10 days
 if ($FileAcc <= 10) {
   print "$Name ";
   print "File was last Accessed ", $FileAcc, " days ago\n";
   printf OUT $Name . "\n"; }
 else { print $Name, " File was Accessed more than 10 days ago\n"; }
}
closedir(HERE);
close(OUT);
