#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; my $dir; if(!($dir = $ARGV[0]) || !(-d $dir) || !(-x $dir)) { die "Usage: <scriptname> readable_directory\n"; } opendir(my $dh,$dir) or die "Couldn't open $dir"; my @scripts; EXAMINEFILES: while (my $file = readdir($dh)) { if (!(-f $file)) { next EXAMINEFILES; } if ($file =~ m/\.sh$/) { push @scripts,$file; next EXAMINEFILES; } open(my $fh,"<",$file) or die "Couldn't open file $file for readin +g"; my $firstline = (<$fh>); if ($firstline && $firstline =~ m{^\#\!/usr/local/bin/perl}) { push @scripts,$file; } close $fh or die "Couldn't close file $file"; } closedir $dh or die "Couldn't close directory handle"; print "Found the following scripts in $dir:\n"; print join("\n",@scripts)."\n";

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it. -- Brian W. Kernighan
