I have some code that needs to do stuff to many files. It uses File::Find to search directories recursively from the current directory. Here's a minimal test case that gives me the problem: 
#!D:/perl/bin/perl.exe -w
use strict;
use File::Find;

my @list = qw(.);
find ( \&recurse, @list );

sub recurse {
    my $file = $File::Find::name;
    productionize ( $file );
}
sub productionize {
    my $fileName    = shift;
    return if $fileName !~ /[\w]+\.(?:cgi|p[lm])$/;
    print "Processing $fileName\n";
    
    open FILE, "<$fileName" or die "Can't open $fileName for reading: 
+$!";
    #do stuff
    close FILE;
}

It displays the following: 
Processing ./blobtest.pl
Processing ./form.pl
Processing ./functional.pl
Processing ./images.cgi
Processing ./index.pl
Processing ./upload.cgi
Processing ./utils/debug.pl
Can't open ./utils/debug.pl for reading: No such file or directory at 
+correct.pl line 17.

As soon as I try to descend into a sub directory, it chokes. I keep reading through the documentation and I assume that I'm overlooking something simple. What am I missing?

NT 4.0, service pack 6. ActiveState Perl v5.6.0.

Humbly yours,

P.S. For those who might wonder why I've bothered to call productionize() from recurse(): the code is actually considerably more complicated. I simply have a very simple test case here.
