Will anyone help me with this issue? These three lines of code work, but work in a way that I am not expecting. When I tell this module set prune to 0 it should NOT descend directories yet it does. Below are the 3 lines I have tried and below that is the entire script. thank you!

1) File::Find::find ( { wanted => $wanted, prune => $File::Find::prune
+ }, $fs ) ;

2) File::Find::find ( { wanted => $wanted, prune => +shift }, $fs ) ;

3) File::Find::find ( { wanted => $wanted, prune =>
$File::Find::prune = shift}, $fs
