In my opinion all sysadmins should have some basic programming theory.  If you 
are writing shell scripts and perl code without the theory then I fear for your 
code and the hosts it runs on.

depth_search => urecurse("inf");

means, for depth search use body part (think subroutine call) urecurse and pass 
the string 'inf' to it.

body depth_search urecurse(d) {

means, depth search body part who's name is urecurse and assign the passed 
value to the scalar 'd'.  Think of perl's shift.
