This is just a guess, but... Are you either pre-pending the directory name to the file name, or changing to the directory? The symptom sounds like you're doing something like: foreach my $dir (@directories)
{
foreach my $file (@filenames)
{
$age = -M $file;
....
When what you should be doing is:
foreach my $dir (@directories)
{
foreach my $file (@filenames)
{
$age = -M "$dir/$file"; # see the difference?
....
or something like this:
foreach my $dir (@directories)
{
chdir $dir or die "Couldn't chdir to $dir: $!\n";
foreach my $file (@filenames)
{
$age = -M $file;
....
}
chdir ".." or die "Help, I stranded myself";
As I said, just a guess. HTH.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
