File::Find actually sounds ideal for what you want, and it will most likely do it better than you could yourself. Typical file-tree depth searchers get hung up on symbolic links if you don't explicitly take them into account. File::Find will handle this and other problems with aplomb. It's also very flexible; just plug in your matching function ( wanted() in the docs) and you're up and running. See Corion's review and following thread for additional considerations, and the local copy of the |File::Find doc for how to use it. And of course, there are a boatload of existing nodes around the site (see above posts) relating to the module.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
