You can do opendir(), readdir() in the loop and test every entry with
'-l' operator: if (-l $entry) {...}.
perldoc -f -l
Then you can recursively go through all detected linked dirs (test if
they are dirs with '-d' operator). You may want to include a loop
detection logic, so you don't cycle forever if there is a loop
Do you necessarily need it in Perl? Consider calling 'find' if you are
on Unix. 'man find' for options
