Holli:

suspect the issue is NOT with the docs, but rather with this noob's overreaching. For example, both pod and the ref'ed tutorial seem (to me) to say, given a start_dir from the cli, F:F iterate thru all subdirs, id'ing those whose name matches a regex in my processing sub. But stepping thru my code with -d tells me I've misunderstood something. Comes back to skill level of this reader.

For the rest, thank you very much. I will study and understand... soon, I hope. <G>
