Re: skip directories when using File::Find

File::Find has a variable $File::Find::prune. When it's true, F::F won't descend into any subdirectories of the current directory.

You might also want to monitor $File::Find::dir, if you want to descend inside your $restricted directories

Thanks to your response and those of blakem, and DrZaius, I was able to fix it up. Thanx! (and for those too lazy to follow the link to the $File::Find::prune node, here's the code I got from it... `if ($File::Find::name =~ m!^/some_dir/sub_dir!) { print "skipping $dir\n'; $File::Find::prune = 1; return; }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
