O Monks, I ask this of you:

I am trying to recursively traverse a subweb that I moved from a FrontPage-based server to one that isn't. In the process, I want to blow away all of the _vti_cnf directories in this subweb. Consulting the Perl Cookbook, I came up with what I thought was the solution: 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use File::Find;
use File::Path;

@ARGV = qw(.) unless @ARGV;

sub process_file {
    ((-d _) && /_vti_cnf/) && rmtree $File::Find::name;
}

find (\&process_file, @ARGV);

When run in the root of the subweb I wanted to process with no arguments, though, it only deleted the _vti_cnf directory in the root itself, and not any of the subdirectories like I wanted. What could I be doing wrong?
