Try this:

sub browse($)
{    
  my $path = $_[0];

  #append a / if missing
  if($path !~ /\/$/)
  {
    $path .= '/';
  }

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

    #if the file is a directory
    if(-d $eachFile) 
    {
      #browse directory recursively
      browse($eachFile);
    } 
    else 
    {
       your file processing here
    }
  }
   
}#browse

It seems shorter (if you ignore/eliminate the makeup I added to enhance readability) and much simpler than what you have and works. Hope this helps.

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.
