Sounds like a job for File::Find. How about something like this?
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use File::Find;
finddepth(\&output, '.');
sub output {
return if $File::Find::name !~ /.mp3$/;
print "<p>$File::Find::dir</p>\n";
(my $n = $File::Find::name) =~ s/.*\///;
print "\t<blockquote>$n</blockquote>\n";
}
Update:
I'm not sure what you mean by it's printing out a directory at the top of MP3 name. If you'd like the directory name to print only once then you can save the previous one in a global maybe and then check to see if they match. If they don't match then print the name of the directory. ie.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use File::Find;
use vars qw($prev);
finddepth(\&output, '.');
sub output {
return if $File::Find::name !~ /.mp3$/;
print "<p>$File::Find::dir</p>\n" if $File::Find::dir ne $prev;
$prev = $File::Find::dir;
(my $n = $File::Find::name) =~ s/.*\///;
print "\t<blockquote>$n</blockquote>\n";
}
By the way, it's much easier to use finddepth for your recursive search, than to roll your own recursive search.
