Hello Monks... I nabbed some code from Merlyn: http://www.perlmonks.com/index.pl?node_id=115428 for a Win32 system like so: 
{
  my @starters = @ARGV ? @ARGV : 'F:/test';
  @ARGV = ();
  find sub {
  
  if (($_ =~ ".c") or ($_ =~ ".h")) {
  push @ARGV, "$File::Find::dir/$_";
  }
  }, @starters;
}
while (<>) {
...
}

I assumed that this would populate @ARGV with only filenames, and not top-level directory names. However, subdirectory names are getting into @ARGV somehow: 
Can't do inplace edit: F:/test/subdir is not a regular file at script.
+pl line 28

Can anyone explain to me how those top-level subdirectory names got into @ARGV when I only ever pushed "$File::Find::dir/$_" onto the array? Thanks! -Chris
