When I was writing this, I started off just looking for files in the current directory. So,  my @files = map { "$dir/$_" } grep { !/^\.{1,2}$/ && -f "$dir/$_" } was nice and compact and seemed very perlish.

I then decided to allow directory traversal and kept the same code format. Still nice and compact, only 3 lines compared to 10 in your method. Of course, mine is obviously way less efficient.

I can't think of a way to eliminate the extra grep and stat and keep the same compactness.

Thanks for you suggestion.
