Re: Recursion and Such

I'm going to go out on a limb and suspect that it's because File::Find uses globals that are not being reset correctly between iterations.

Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.

That doesn't make sense since the line of code that is being affected is the following `sub recursion{ findDir($dir, $min, $max); } sub findDir{ my ($dir, $min_depth, $max_depth) = @_; }` [download] granted that is a scaled down version, but for brevity's sake you get the idea. No matter what is being passed after $min and $max == 2 is not being updated in the findDir directory. It seems like the array @_ is holding on to old values, but even when I use `$dir = shift; $max = shift; $min = shift; etc ...` [download] I still get the wrong data. This has to be some property of recursion that I am missing...	[reply] [d/l] [select]

sub recursion{
        findDir($dir, $min, $max);
}
sub findDir{
    my ($dir, $min_depth, $max_depth) = @_;
}

$dir = shift;
$max = shift;
$min = shift;
etc ...
