I get it now.. I tried it before running OP's code with '/tmp' as the param .. running w/'.' shows the issue..

Is it just me or is that not clear in the docs? Maybe i was just getting thrown by the absolute paths used in the example chart...


Anyways, i second the note from my other reply about File::Find::Rule :) (or merlyn's File::Finder; both obsolete OP's issue)
