Hi guys... I'm running a perl script from a Tru64 UNIX system. The script I am running is trying to traverse a VMS file share, that is being exported to look like a UNIX network file system.

When using the find command (ie find . -name "*.dif") it will find all of the files, directories and subdirectories.

When using File::Find though, the find command will not travel down subdirectories. I have checked, and as far as ls is concerned it is a directory, all of the subdirectories pass a -d test, yet the tools refuse to do a deep directory search on these VMS file systems. When I run the same code on a local file system it works as intended, so it isn't a coding error.

Is it possible that there is a parameter that I need to set to tell Find to do a deep search on a network file system, or any other thoughts on things to check? It just seems odd that there is this kind of an issue, and I'd rather not run a `find` command if I can help it.

Thanks guys!

Greg
