Hi, by pick up I mean to say that, the code finds all of the directories and files correctly, except the ones I listed that it does not.

I dont have the join(':',stat $_) in my code.

As per your comment, I have added the code below on how I set the @files

``` 
my @files;

my $path = shift;

opendir (DIR, $path)
or die "Unable to open $path: $!";

my @files =
# Third: Prepend the full path
map { $path . '\\' . $_ }
# Second: take out '.' and '..'
grep { !/^\.{1,2}$/ }
# First: get all files
readdir (DIR);
closedir (DIR);
