Well on unix you could do this with a bit of find and grep, but if you are not on unix or still want to do it the perlish way, you should check out the File::Find module, then perldoc -f open and perldoc -f grep. Aka find the files, open each, store the file to an array, run a grep on the array lines, and probably increment a counter in a list for each of the words-> files or files-> words depending on what you want to do with it when you match the word in a file.
