How can I do a recursive directory listing for a directory on my windows machine.<br><br>I have this directory called stuff, and under stuff I have a bunch of other stuff, folders and files. I want to be able to go inside the top directory stuff, and list all the other stuff under it recursively, until there aren't anymore stuff to list. How do i get started.<br><br>Do I have to use the opendir function or can I use something else, that's more effective and more efficient?

dir is a DOS command. /s enters subdirectories. Type dir /? for more info about the switches.
I wouldn't suggest using a DOS command for this problem. Better to use Perl's functions. Have you tried the solutions proposed in your earlier thread? If so, why were they not satisfactory?
