I'm not sure if anyone is addressing these type of issues, but I thought
I would send it just in case...

I was happy to see perl was included with Apple's new OSX server. I
installed a perl script that I have been running on a SUN box for a long
time. The perl script uses the "find" function, which lets you
recursively dig down and collect all files and folders from a certain
path down. (i.e. if the path is "/", you can get the name of EVERY file
and directory in the filesystem.) This function works fine if the path I
give it points to a UNIX partition, but if the path I give it is in a
Mac partition (our share point for mac users), it doesn't do any
recursion. I can only see the first level.

Thanks,
