Readdir is a function not command: perldoc -f readdir
So there aren't switches. You really need a module like File::Find

I think File:Find searche directories recurrsively and can return their paths.
Once you have the paths you can have your way with them.

Try search.cpan.org or perldoc File::Find for details.
