Below is a trivial script I wrote to crawl through our web site, find the .LCK files that dreamweaver uses to mark files as "checked out" and produce a simple report of who has what checked out.

My question is:
"Am I bad person for mixing shell and perl this way?"

If I'd stopped to re-learn the syntax for File::Find, I think I'd still be writing this script... On the other hand, maybe some day I want to hand this off to somebody that doesn't like shell ? on Win32??? 

!/usr/local/bin/perl -w

use strict;
my @files=`find /home/sites/lctc/doc_root -name *.LCK`;
my %users;

foreach my $file (@files){
        my $key=`cat $file`;
        chomp($key);
        $users{$key}.="\t$file";
}
foreach my $key (sort(keys %users)) {
        print "$key \n $users{$key}\n\n";
}
# output
