Hello Monks, I am trying to get all the path in my home directory having a text document. While this works for few specified folder like /home/username/prog/ it doesn't works for /home/username/. For the later it goes on and on ..... I think my recursion is wrong . Please help Thanks navzit 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

print "enter the path :";
chomp($q = <STDIN>);
sub recurse($);
print "the file are:";recurse($q);
sub recurse($){
    my($path)=@_;
    $path.='/' if ($path!~/\/$/);
    #print $path,"\n";
    $count=0;
    for my $eachFile(glob($path.'*')){
    if(-d $eachFile){
        recurse($eachFile);
    }
    elsif($eachFile=~m/.txt/){
     
        @file_name=(@file_name,$eachFile);
        print "$eachFile\n";
       
    }
    
    }
}


    $count=@file_name;
    print "\n Number of files are $count  \n";
    print "\n";
