Fellow monks,

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;

print_dir ( "." );

sub print_dir {
  my $dir_name = shift;
  #print "-->$dir_name\n";
  opendir ( my $dir_h , "$dir_name")  or die "Unale to open dir :$dir_
+name: $!\n";
  #print "Inside Function\n";

  while ( my $file = readdir($dir_h) ) {
     #print "File :$file:\n";
     next if ( "$dir_name/$file" =~ /\/\.$/ or "$dir_name/$file" =~ /\
+/\.\.$/ );
     #print "$dir_name\n";
     #<>;
     if ( -d "$dir_name/$file" ) {
       #print "Match\n";
       print_dir ( "$dir_name/$file" );
     }
     print "$dir_name/$file\n";
  }
  #return $dir_name;

I am trying to print the contents of a directory recursively. But I see in the output that the files are printed-out 2 times. Is there anything I am missing out in the recursive function.

• 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.
