If you're running this on a linux box, you could use backticks.

my @dirs = split(/\n/,`find /from/this/place/on -type d`);

Nice thing about this is that you are using linux find, you can specify a lot of options, like formatting the output to get inode, timestamp, you can sort them by date, whatever.

You may want to do a man find from your shell prompt- it would show you the options.

You have to be aware that using backticks is more of a temporary script thing, for throw-away code. There are security and i guess portability issues with backticks.
