Hi

Another option, and possibly a simpler one for someone new to perl is to use File::Find::Rule. The example below searches through the current directory and its subdirectories, for all files with a .pl extension.

Note that the result is stored in an array, not a hash. The result can be stored in a hash if the user needs to, but the key/value construct would need to be understood eg, is the key the path, and the value the file name, or is the key the full file name and the value the size of the file (or other attributes) etc.... 

use strict;
use warnings;
use autodie;

use File::Find::Rule;

my @txt_files  = File::Find::Rule
    ->file
    ->name('*.pl')
    ->in('./');

foreach (@txt_files) {
    print "$_\n";
}

I hope this helps

Arnaud.
