I'm writing a perl script to process files in a directory and it has recursion to process sub directories. However my code stops after first recursion and I can't figure out why it's loosing it's place. It looks like I'm loosing my directory handle but I can't figure out why. Can anyone lend me a hand and educate me on my issue? Here is my sub

sub ScanDir
{
  my($dir) = @_;
  my ($file);
  if (substr ($dir,-1) ne "/")
  { 
    $dir .= "/";
  }
  opendir(DIR, $dir) or die $!;
  while ($file = readdir(DIR)) 
  {
    next if ($file =~ m/^\./);
    $FullName = $dir.$file;
    if (-d $FullName)
    {
       ScanDir($FullName);
    }
    else
    {
      next unless (-f $FullName);
      @fdata = stat($FullName);
      open(FILE, $FullName) or die "Error: Could not open $FullName fo
+r MD5 checksum";
      binmode(FILE);
      my $md5sum = $md5->addfile(*FILE)->hexdigest; 
      close FILE;
      print "$FullName, $fdata[7], $fdata[8], $fdata[9], $md5sum\n"
    }
    }
   closedir(DIR);
}
