While you should really use a module for this, I will answer the question: Your code is not recursive - it descends only one level, and a correct solution would allow for any number. Here is an example that does what you want. Note that symbolic links to directories are not followed.
#! /usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
sub list
{
my ($dir) = @_;
return unless -d $dir;
my @files;
if (opendir my $dh, $dir)
{
# Capture entries first, so we don't descend with an
# open dir handle.
my @list;
my $file;
while ($file = readdir $dh)
{
push @list, $file;
}
closedir $dh;
for $file (@list)
{
# Unix file system considerations.
next if $file eq '.' || $file eq '..';
# Swap these two lines to follow symbolic links into
# directories. Handles circular links by entering an
# infinite loop.
push @files, "$dir/$file" if -f "$dir/$file";
push @files, list ("$dir/$file") if -d "$dir/$file";
}
}
return @files;
}
print "file=", $_, "\n" for list ("D:");
exit 0;

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).
