I would use opendir and readdir:
opendir (DIR, $dir) or die "cannot opendir $dir";
foreach my $file (readdir(DIR)) {
&process_file ($file);
}
closedir (DIR);
or to process ONLY files:
my @only_files = grep {-f "$dir/$_"} readdir(DIR);
foreach my $file (@only_files) {
&process_file ($file);
}
and finally a one-line-do-everything version (my favorite one):
map {&process_file} grep {-f "$dir/$_"} readdir(DIR);

tenatious:
i tried your code and it wouldn't work for me. first the function is Recurse and not recurse. the arguments to the function are a reference to an array of directories and a reference to a hash of options.
while playing with it i came up with:
#! /usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
MAIN:
{
my @SDIRS;
my %dirs;
my %rules;
$SDIRS[0] = "./";
#$rules{match} =;
use File::Recurse;
%dirs = Recurse(\@SDIRS, \%rules);
my ($key, $value, @atmp);
while (($key,$value) = each %dirs) {
@atmp = @{$value};
foreach(@atmp){
#here $key is the path to a file
#and $_ is the file itsself
print $key."/".$_."\n";
}
}
exit 0;
}

Oops, excuse me
i made a booboo, the regexp is wrong
if ($_ =~ /^\..?.?$/) { next; }
is wrong and should be replaced by
if ($_ =~ /^\..?.?$/) { next; }
hehe
don't i look silly now ;)
