I am trying to make a script to list recursively the files in the directories.

There is a module File::Find which is handy for doing recursive searches of a directory tree. See File::Find. File::Find starts at the directory that you specify and for every directory and file found, it calls a subroutine that you specify. Below this is just called "wanted". There are some special variable names that apply while you are inside the wanted subroutine as shown below.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

use File::Find;

# within the wanted subroutine:
#
# http://perldoc.perl.org/File/Find.html
# $File::Find::dir is the current directory name,
# $_ is the current filename within that directory
# $File::Find::name is the complete pathname to the file.


my @directories_to_search = ('C:/temp');

find(\&wanted, @directories_to_search);

sub wanted
{
   print "$File::Find::name\n" if -f;
}
