Hi;
What I would like is a Perl native recursive descent file counter, not just the files in one directory, but nested directories as well.
I would like the equivalent of:
"find $dir | wc -l" # I want all (files, dirs and symlinks)
I tried File::Find where my wanted was "sub {$file_count++}", but I get a warning "variable will not stay shared", but it seems to be the correct number.
Is there a better way?
Native Perl (or CPAN, but I don't see this on CPAN)...
Thanks,
Ken Wolcott

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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
