As a general rule, I would avoid writing a subroutine that has the same name as a
built-in
function (with the exception of the capital 'D'). In this case, I can't tell if the
second and
third calls to opendir are supposed to be to your subroutine or to the built-in
functions. I also
notice that the last opendir above does not actually check to see if the open was
successful.
I should also add that the standard way of handling this is to use the File::Find
module. See
'perldoc File::Find' for more information.
Cheers,
