Can you give us a for instance? This is kind of vague. Can perl get a directory listing. Yes eaisly. perldoc -f readdir or lookinto globbing. Can you then use what it returns later in a script to perform some action on the files. Yes also. also looking to file::find. With some more specific info we may be able to help out to a greater degree. Paul D.
