1. ...How is that easier then...

Writing the script is not much more complex but invoking it (on a Windows machine) is easier if you don't have to pass the extra argument.

2. ...you should be able to simplify about 20 lines of initialization with something like...

True. I find mine easier to understand, but I can see yours has its benefits.

3. ...seems like the worst possible behavior you could have as a fallback...

You are right. In my case these sections are never invoked, so its not an issue.

4. File::Find is your friend.

Yes, OK. But I had the subroutine already written so rather than spend time looking at the existing package I just grabbed it. Pure lazyness I admit.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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.
