A side note unrelated to the question...

In your program, you have this line:

opendir (DIR, "$dirPath") || die "Fscked Filesystem: $!\n";
[download]

You may not be aware that fsck actually means something beyond the cute little "almost" profanity. It's a standard Unix command that checks the validity of a filesystem, hence "fsck", for "filesystem check".

So your error message of "Fscked Filesystem" could be misleading because if that error comes up, 1) you didn't actually do any filesystem checking and 2) you couldn't anyway 'cause you're on a Windows box.

Oh, and I'd drop the quotes around $dirPath. They serve no purpose.
