When those esteemed monks reply as they do you should take note. There is always more than one way to do it, although there is not always a good reason. If you really must reinvent the File::Find wheel:
use strict;
use warnings;

sub search_dir {
    my ($dir) = @_;
    
    my $dh;
    if ( !opendir ($dh, $dir)) {
        warn "Unable to open $dir: $!\n";
        return;
    }
    
    # Two dummy reads for . & ..
    readdir ($dh);
    readdir ($dh);
    
    while (my $file = readdir ($dh) ) {
    
        my $path = "$dir/$file";    # / should work on UNIX & Win32
        
        if ( -d $path ) {
            print "Directory $path found\n";
            search_dir ($path); 
        }
        else {
            print "File $path found\n";
        }
    }
    
    closedir ($dh);
}
