CPU Usage for Find vs Recurse

I tried both the File::Find() and File::Recurse.

Recurse == 81 seconds; 43% avg CPU usage
Find == 31 seconds; 100% avg CPU usage (plus one error about "Can't opendir(f:/System Volume Information): Invalid Argument" or some such)

Interesting difference. Over a 100mbit network, the cpu and time results were identical (obviously limited by the network, not the code).

Found my reason for confusion. The two recurse modules are completly different. An alternative method of calling recurse. (Sugested by the module for simple tasks.) `recurse {$size += -s}, "k:/node1";` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
