Then get to work! Look, you are dictating first the method that must be used, and then demanding that we present you with some finished product to accomplish this. What have you tried? Where are you stuck? As some have pointed out, the File::Find module can do this job for you. See if the mocule is installed, and install it if not. Then do perldoc File::Find and use the information contained therein to solve your problem. Unfortunately, using the module does not teach you anything about how to construct a well-ordered recusive system. Is this what you are working on? Is this the focus of your homework assignment? If so, you will need to create a function which scans through a diretory seeking the file, and calls itself on all subdirectories. To do this effectively, you will have to be comfortable and skilled with passing values, both by value and by reference, to functions. How are your skills in this regard? Please show some of the work that you are doing to accomplish this task, and you will get more help.
