Trying to write a perl code which browses all the files recursively under a given input directory and do the following: - Parse all the list of module names. - Parse all the instance names inside each of the modules. Kindly let me know where am I going wrong!! And guide me for obtaining the correct output. Thanks

In reply to Parse for a name after a keyword search in all the files, given directory as input by prash_sri
