Depeding on how long you intend to spend doing stuff in each directory, it might be a good idea to do a chdir into that directory. This would avoid running into problems like the one you just had.
This is one of those philosofical issues, like what's best:
- relative links
- absolute urls
Each person has a particular way of doing things, but I just tend to think its a matter of what makes things clearer. In your case, it could be:
if (-f "$path/$leaf") {
}
# or simply
chdir($path) || warn();
if (-d $leaf) {
}
