Hello monks,

The following script is meant to iterate through all files within a directory, including subdirectories. It seemed the solution would be easy. Unfortunately, this spits out something about an invalid dirhandle at line 18 (marked with ***).

#!C:\Perl64\bin\perl.exe

use strict;
use warnings;

my $remoteaddr = "//192.168.25.2/";

my %directories = (
  media    => $remoteaddr . "Media",
  software => $remoteaddr . "Software"
);

sub getdir
{
  my $dir = shift;

  opendir (my $dh, $dir) || die qq(Cannot opendir: $dir);
  while( my $file = readdir($dh)) { #*********************************
+*****
    next if ($file =~ m[^\.{1,2}$]);   # Ignore . and ..
    my $path = $dir .'/'. $file;
    if (-e $path)
    {
      # do some stuff
    }
    elsif (-d $path)
    {
      getdir($path);
    }
  closedir ($dh);
  }
}

foreach my $directory (keys %directories)
{
  getdir($directories{$directory});
}

Any help would be appreciated.
