Hi , I have an array @plf_files which contains a list of .plf names,now I have a file "@file" which contains .plfs as shown below,now for every .plf found in @file,I want to open each .plf ,search recursively until no .plf is found in it and save them in an array,how do I make sure the process of opening and searching recursively happens? 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w 
use strict;  
use warnings; 
my (@recursive_plfs,plf_files) =();
@plf_files = {files.plf,orphans.plf,bases.plf};
@file = {//source/perl/scripts/modem/final/rel/sw/bases.plf#30,//sourc
+e/perl/scripts/modem/final/rel/sw/files.plf#3};
foreach my $plf (@plf_files)
{
if (grep @file)

{
push @recursive_plfs=$plf;
#the below loop needs to be repeated until no .plf's are found,how do 
+I do this?
{
open my $match, '<',"$plf" or die "could not open '$plf' $!";
push @recursive_plfs = /\/(\w+\.plf)/ = grep (/\*\.plf$/,$match) #get 
+only the plf name from the match
}

}
}
