There are modules, such as File::Find, that can assist in this chore. There are also functions such as readdir that are useful. To construct matching patterns, you may want to look into regular expressions, as well as file-globbing. perldoc File::Find perldoc -f readdir perldoc perlre > > Please reply of list.
