Just above line 52, add a line like this:
         print STDERR "File is directory is $file\n";
That will make it print out the filenames that it finds in that
directory.


Still got the same error.

McAfee update failed: cannot find the update file,  at ./autoupdate line
93.

It doesn't even print that line on 51...
