I used find2perl to generate a snippet of perl code. This works, I get the expected results to the html form. However, I really want the results in a file, which will be overwritten each time the code is run (not append).

I get back the expected files with path, but its to my browser. I've been through the Find::File man pages, and the find2perl pages and can't figure out how to get this to a file.

This is the actual find command I want to run:

find ./caldata -exec grep -n -l "Katie" '{}' \; > ./tmp/kc2

(I couldn't get find2perl to like the > ./tmp/kc2 part)

Here is what I have: 

$person_sel = $values{"person_sel"};

use File::Find ();

# for the convenience of &wanted calls, including -eval statements:
use vars qw/*name *dir *prune/;
*name   = *File::Find::name;
*dir    = *File::Find::dir;
*prune  = *File::Find::prune;


sub wanted;
sub doexec ($@);

# Traverse desired filesystems
File::Find::find({wanted => \&wanted}, $calPath);

sub wanted {
    doexec(0, 'grep','-l',$person_sel,'{}')
}

           0
use Cwd ();
my $cwd = Cwd::cwd();

sub doexec ($@) {
    my $okCw shift;
    my @command = @_; # copy so we don't try to s/// aliases to consta
+nts
    for my $word (@command)
        { $word =~ s#{}#$name#g }
    if ($ok) {
        my $old = select(STDOUT);
        $| = 1;
        print "@command";
        select($old);
        return 0 unless <STDIN> =~ /^y/;
    }
    chdir $cwd; #sigh
    system @command;
    chdir $File::Find::dir;
        return !$?;
}

Thanks in advance to anyone who can give me some pointers.
