Hello.

I have a very simple script to count a number of frames (files) in a
directory.

###
#start
###

#!/usr/bin/perl

$num ="1";

while ( $num = 1 )
        {
        $count = `ls -al|grep .dpx |wc -l`;
        print "        Frames in -->  ";
        print $count;
#       print "\n";
        sleep 30;
}

###
# end
###

This of course works fine on my IRIX machines, but perl2exe wont work
because grep doesn't exist by default.  My sysadmin will not install
perl.  I'm using perl2exe just to port it over not for security, so I
would like to avoid the perl2exe discussion.

Do you have any ideas how I could rewrite this without grep. 

Thanks in advance for all of your help.
