Hi, I am using the below perl script to recursively read directories and sub directories and find out files which are of size zero and generate a log file for them. But instead of simply generating a log file I want to create e directories which it is reading and generate the log file in them. For example My script is reading the directory structure as
Directory1 -> Sub directory1 ->Folder1 -> files " " ->Folder2 -> files " " ->Folder3 -> files

Directory2 -> Sub directory2 ->Folder1 ->files " " ->Folder2 ->files

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

use File::Find ;
use File::Basename;

$search = shift || 'c:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\newbatch2' 
+;

$outfile = 'c:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\newbatch\log.txt';

open OUTF, "> $outfile" or die print " can't create logfile; $!";

find sub { push @dirs, $File::Find::name if -d }, $search ;

for $dir ( @dirs ) {
   opendir $dh, $dir or do { warn "Cannot open '$dir' $!" ; next ; } ;

   opendir( DIR, "$dir" ) ;
   @files = readdir( DIR )  ;
   
   closedir( DIR ) ;

   foreach $file ( @files )
   {
   
      
      print " $dir\$file\n";
      
      
      
   if ( -f "$dir/$file")
   
   {
       $filesize = -s "$dir/$file" ;
      if ( $file ne "empty.txt" && $file ne "sample.txt" ) 
      {
      
         print  OUTF "Warning: $dir/$file has size ZERO\n"
           if ( $filesize == "0" ) ;
           
           }
           
           
        
              }
   }
   closedir( $dh ) ;
   
   }
   
   close OUTF ;
   
   exit 0;
