you're absolutely right about the numolinks, thing.

Though the reason it has all this scaffolding is due to the fact that the actual inlineFind function I wrote was about ten times more complex (looking for more than just symbolic links, but all sorts of different files and throwing them into an assortment of lists). So I just sorta shortened it to the symbolic link to demonstrate the warning I was getting.

I do appreciate the pointers, however. The great thing about Perl is I can use it for years and years, and still learn a ton everyday I use it.

Also, I admit sometimes I am a C coder at heart... well, that and I once taught assembler at a university.

We all bear our scars. Heh.
