This is a task for the File::Find module. The module will recurse through the directory structure for you and call the function you want for each file found. This may be a little confusing if you come from VB or something similar. The find() function from File::Find is like a servant that gets a list of things to do and the place to start from and goes through all files and does whatever is in the list.

use File::Find;

sub toDo {
  return if (-d $_);
    # I'm not interested in directories
  if (/\.txt$/i) {
    print "I found text file $_ in $File::Find::dir\n"
  }
}

find( \&toDo, '.');

P.S.(OT): Yeah the absence to references/pointers to functions is what I hate most about VB.
All those who understood the topic I just elucidated, please verticaly extend your upper limbs.
