Thanks for the tip on the prototype - perl is new to me. The ()'s got added out of habit.

I'm not creating the junctions, windows did. The way I found out what they were was a DIR in the correct directory - someone pointed out in the chatterbox that I had done my initial DIR in the wrong directory, so here is the right one 

C:\Users\Joel\Documents>dir /ad
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is DE8B-53F2
 Directory of C:\Users\Joel\Documents
02/07/2011  03:36 PM    <DIR>          .
02/07/2011  03:36 PM    <DIR>          ..
09/14/2010  05:56 AM    <DIR>          Archive
12/24/2010  07:24 PM    <DIR>          Misc
12/11/2009  06:42 AM    <JUNCTION>     My Music [C:\Users\Joel\Music]
12/11/2009  06:42 AM    <JUNCTION>     My Pictures [C:\Users\Joel\Pict
+ures]
12/11/2009  06:42 AM    <JUNCTION>     My Videos [C:\Users\Joel\Videos
+]
09/04/2010  05:52 AM    <DIR>          WORD
               0 File(s)              0 bytes
              25 Dir(s)  280,587,014,144 bytes free

C:\Users\Joel\Documents>

As for the clone, I had a WD drive going bad, got a new one under warranty (WD treated me right), and used their software "Acronis True Image" to clone it which copies sector by sector. I did have a number of unreadable sectors but am now booting off the new drive. It is difficult to know which files are on a particular sector and the clone log didn't list enough info anyway so I just wanted to see if there were any missing files before erasing the old drive and shipping it back.

I just ran this code 

my $x = 'c:/users/joel/documents';
opendir(my $dh, $x) || die;
while(readdir $dh) {
    if (-d "$x/$_") { print "dir $_\n";}
    if (-l "$x/$_") { print "lnk $_\n";}
}
closedir $dh;

and get this: 
dir .
dir ..
dir Archive
dir Misc
dir My Music
dir My Pictures
dir My Videos
dir WORD

[download]
from above see that the "My x" are junctions (or links?) Shouldn't they get caught by the -d/-l test?
