I am trying to find a way to perform a virus check on all files in a directory. I am on a Windows NT server. Since it is part of a perl process, I need to do this via command line. I've looked into file::scan, but am not sure how to use the module. When I run the following code, I get File::Scan-HASH(0x1a7f06c) for $fs->scan, but nothing for $e and $c. What am I doing wrong? Thanks. 
use File::Scan;

$fs = File::Scan->new(extension => 'bad', move => 'infected');
$fs->scan("e:\\filescan\\test.html");
print "$fs\n";

my $e = $fs->error; print "$e\n";
if(my $e = $fs->error) { print "$e\n"; }

if(my $c = $fs->skipped) { print "file skipped ($c)\n"; }
print "$c\n";


exit;
