Folks: I found an issue with using File::Find. Here is my code
use strict;
use warnings;
use File::Find; 

my    $in_dir            =    "C:\\temp";
my    $rc                =    q{};

sub select_files {
    print ("function was entered\n");
}

$File::Find::prune        =    0;
$rc=find(\&select_files, $in_dir);
print ("find returned with $rc\n");
exit(0);

The code compiles clean under ActivePerl 5.8.9 on WinXP. The version of File::Find is 1.13. The issue is that neither of the print statements generate any output. Gotta believe I am doing something wrong, but exactly what, has not hit me yet. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? Thanks.
