asked on
-d and Find::File::name
Hi,
I have this snippet of code in which I am trying to print out all the directories. It does not work using the -d, but -f does print all the files. Why doesn't -d work for directories? What am I doing wrong? This should be a pretty basic question for an experienced Perl programmer.
<code>
use strict;
use File::Find;
sub wanted
{
if (-d $File::Find::name)
{
print "$File::Find::name\n";
}
}
find(\&wanted, 'C:/');
</code>
many thanks,
Barry
