Re: look through directory for tar files only

It's not clear what you mean by "and then returns them in a list as a path to another directory." if you need to copy or move the files, please post a follow-up question. Here's a suggestion for finding the files:

See File::Find::Rule

my $dir   = '/some/path';
my @files = File::Find::Rule->file()
                              ->name( '*.tar' )
                                ->in( $dir );

Edit: simplified example

The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
