Well, with respect to maintainability, I would think that File::Find would be much easier to maintain, once you understand how it works.
As for your code, the problem is the line
my @files = readdir(DIR) || die "Unable to read $workdir: $!\n";
The || operator has a higher precedence than the assignment, which means the readdir() gets evaluated in a scalar context; i.e., it returns only one directory entry. Try the or operator, for the effect you're looking for:
my @files = readdir(DIR) or die "Unable to read $workdir: $!\n";
(Now, if you had been using File::Find, you wouldn't have had to figure this out ;-) ...)

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).
