If you want something portable, take a look at File::Find which can do a
file tree walk (recursively down a hierarchy).

If you have access to a copy of the Perl Cookbook, the recipe at p. 329-330
should be modifiable to do what you want to do. (This one "duplicates" the
tree not in real files but in symlinks, aka aliases).
