Hello khen1950fx

many thanks for the reply - great to hear form you!

my question is regarding the I-O handle and the path names. I have to find the right path names. Names and conventions that match the linux conventions...My machine runs OpenSuse-Linux version 11.3.

i took your example and made some slight corrections...

i took your hints and made this: 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use diagnostics;
use File::Find::Rule;

my @files = File::Find::Rule->file()
                 ->name('*.html')
                 ->in( 'home/usr/perl/html.files' );
foreach my $file(@files) {
        print $file, "\n";
}

response:

suse-linux:/usr/perl # perl perl_script_two.pl
Can't stat home/usr/html.files: No such file or directory at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.12.1/File/Find/Rule.pm line 594
suse-linux:/usr/perl #


love to hear from you and appreciate any and all help!
