Hi,
Below mentioned script list's the files starting with "xxx" 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

sub dodir {
    opendir(DIR,$_[0]) or die "Couldn't open $_[0] directory $!";
    my $dir=$_[0];
    
    if ( $dir !~ /\/$/ ) 
    { 
        $dir .= "/";
    }
    my @List=readdir(DIR);
    closedir(DIR);
    splice(@List,0,2);
    foreach my $file (@List) {
      $file = $dir.$file;
     if( -d $file) { dodir($file); }
     elsif ($file =~ /xxx*/ ) { print "\n File $file is present in $di
+r"; 
     #print "\n File type: ",stat($file)->mode; 
     }
    }
}
my $dir_name="/home";
if ( -d $dir_name) {
    dodir($dir_name); 
}
