Can CPAN help with that task? yes, File::Find, an illustration of it's use: http://www.wetware.com/drieux/CS/lang/Perl/Beginners/findModules.txt what you need to sort out is how to write the 'callback' function eg: sub wants { ... } to do the majik you want it to do.... ciao drieux --- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
