This is a good idea, but within the sccs2rcs script it creates a RCS and an 
OLD-SCCS directory.  The sccs2rcs script automatically assumes that all my 
old sccs files are going to be in one flat folder and no subdirectories.  
Conseqently in each folder if it does not find an RCS or OLD-SCCS directory 
it creates these folders in which the "find" goes into and then it creates 
the folders again, thus causing a never ending recursive loop.

My next idea was to edit the CSH script so that it does not create these 
folders and simply converts the file.  The perl script wrapped around it 
will do all of the directory making and file moving from the SCCS folder to 
the RCS folder.

My question being, is there an easy way to traverse down a directory in 
perl, or do I need to create this script from scratch?

Sounds reasonable to me, but a simpler method seems like it would be to
use find since you get recursion into directories for free:
"find /path/to/SCCS/repository -type d -exec sccs2rcs --arguments \{} \;"
(or however you need to call sccs2rcs)

See also find(1) for more details.
