Hi,
	I use the following command in perl to list all files in a directory 
including the ones in subdirectories:

	@files = `find $path -type f -print`;

	I know that the same can be accomplished by using the find2perl 
routine - I was just curious as the why the former was not used ? Is there 
anything that could potentially blow up by doing it the former way? Any help 
would be appreciated.  Please post your replies her or mail them to 
raj@netcarta.com


Thanks
