APM: checking stale nfs mounts with PERL

[Larry Hunter]

This works in another language but should work in Perl as well:
Generate a sequence of partial paths, adding one directory each time, as in
('/mnt1/', '/mnt1/dir1/', '/mnt1/dir1/dir2/, ...)
and for each partial path in the sequence, test whether it is a readable 
directory.
