in thread Why is Stat() Not Stating All Files?

Did I apply the code correctly?
No. You're still testing the wrong file, you still need to prepend the directory in question, only now you filter out directories from the results of readdir (you're left with files only).

    Ahh I got it, I chaged stat($file) to stat($dir.$file).

    Any idea how I can tell directories from files? I doesn't look like stat will tell that from what I can see.

      You know that grep part that you added? It's filtering out directories. `perldoc -f -X'
