Here's a quickie: 
use warnings;
use strict;
use File::Find;

my $search_string = "ORA";
find( \&grep, "." );

sub grep
{
    my $file = $File::Find::name;
    if ( -f $file && -r _ ) {
        open( my $fh, "<", $file ) or return;
        while ( my $rec = <$fh> ) {
            print "Found $search_string in $file" 
              if $rec =~ /$search_string/;
        }
    }
}

However, if you have access to Unix, then the following shell snippet might be more useful in the long run: 
find . -type f | xargs grep -l ORA
