in reply to How to map a directory tree to a perl hash tree

Might not a recursive method of loading this hash work better? Namely, if the 'file' is a directory, then it's entry would just be something like $dirth{ $dir } = dirTreeHash( $dir ).

    Yes, but then you couldn't use File::Find (one of several problems with File::Find's call-back interface).
