CF: Problem with collect.pl

[Risto Järvinen <rjarvine@cc.hut.fi>]

I've encountered some problems while trying to build archetypes:  The
collect.pl script fails to scan the arch tree.

My platform is Linux 2.0.35 with Slackware 3.5 distribution.
The perl in the dist is "version 5.004_04 built for i586-linux".

I have next-to-nothing knowledge of perl but I managed to kludge it to
work with following patch.  (Uses 'echo' instead of perls own system...)

+    foreach $file (split(' ',$string)) {
        $name = &basename($file,""); # DIR
         if( -d $file && $name ne "dev" && $name ne "trashbin") {
            &traverse($file);

I would appreciate a more elegant solution.
