Hi, Here I am finding one problem in unix. I need to inspect some files in a perticular directory. I receive the code belongs to various platforms. I am having a problem if the files belongs to C on Windows platform. They store the files using capitals in filenames like 
  MYHEADER.H

[download]
But in programs they use 
  #include <myheader.h>

[download]
I receive the files MYHEADER.H and when I inspect the code and analyzing I get an error on unix that file 
 myheader.h

[download]
is missing. In this case I create a soft link on unix like 
ln -s MYHEADER.H myheader.h

[download]
and continue. Some times I get files like Myheader.h. I wanted to write a perl script for such problems. I store all the missing files in one text file called 'missing-headers'. My logic is like this: 
1. Open missing-headers.
2. Read a file and check entire directory if any file is found irrespe
+ctive of case(how to?).
3. If found create a soft link in the corresponding directory.
4. If not found report file name in a file 'really-missing.txt'.

Can you pl. help me in doing this in a smart & best way? Is there a facility in perl to create soft link? I appreciate your help. Thanks Ashok
