Thank you, John. That certainly helped. It now ignores the mounted file systems but still traverses hidden directories. I must be overlooking something simple. Here is the code and the output: #!/usr/bin/env perl use File::Find(); eval("use File::HomeDir;"); die "[err] File::HomeDir not installed. Use \"perl -e \"use CPAN; install File::HomeDir;\"\" to install \n" if $@; use strict; use warnings; no warnings 'File::Find'; use 5.010; my $home_directory = File::HomeDir->my_home; use vars qw/*name *dir *prune/; *name = *File::Find::name; *dir = *File::Find::dir; *prune = *File::Find::prune; find_directories(); exit; sub find_directories { print "\nLocating directory...\n"; File::Find::find(\&want_directory, $home_directory); } sub want_directory { my ($dev,$ino,$mode,$nlink,$uid,$gid); (($dev,$ino,$mode,$nlink,$uid,$gid) = lstat($_)) && !($File::Find::prune |= ($dev != $File::Find::topdev)) && ( ! /^\..*\z/si && /^AesTest.*\z/s ) && print("$name\n"); } Output: Locating directory... /home/sprotsman/workspace-20080919/AesTest-1.5.6 /home/sprotsman/20081017/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/ org.eclipse.cdt.core/AesTest.1184703311580.pdom /home/sprotsman/20081017/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/ org.eclipse.cdt.make.core/AesTest.sc /home/sprotsman/20081017/workspace/AesTest-1.5.7 /home/sprotsman/workspace/AesTest-1.5.2 /home/sprotsman/workspace/AesTest-1.5 /home/sprotsman/workspace/AesTest-1.5.3 /home/sprotsman/workspace/AesTest-1.5.4 /home/sprotsman/workspace/AesTest-1.5.1 /home/sprotsman/workspace/AesTest-1.5.7 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
