Found this somewhere else, and it works wonderfully for me, so I thought I'd pass it on (yes, it's recursive, but it's also easier to read/write/maintain than the iterative sol'n above):

sub recurse
{
    my($path) = @_; 

    print( "working in: $path\n" );

    # append a trailing / if it's not there 
    $path .= '/' if($path !~ /\/$/); 

    # loop through the files contained in the directory 
    for my $eachFile (glob($path . '*')) { 

        # if the file is a directory 
        if( -d $eachFile)
        {
            # pass the directory to the routine ( recursion )
            recurse($eachFile);
        }
        else
        {
            handleFile( $eachFile );
        } 
    } 
}
