Recursive Search and Grep Utility Written by sierrathedog04, sierrathedog04@hotmail.com, 6/01

Tested on Perl 5.005_02 in a MP-RAS Unix environment.
Updated 6/19 to add line inadvertently left off original posting. 
use strict;
use File::Find;
my $glob = shift || '.*';
my $grepTerm = shift || '.*';
my $dir = shift || ".";
#following line added 6/19. (Inadvertently left off original posting:)
find (\&Wanted, $dir);
sub Wanted {
          return unless /$glob/;
          open (CURRENT_FILE, $_);
          my @currentFile = <CURRENT_FILE>;
          my @foundLines = grep /$grepTerm/, @currentFile;
          print "In $File::Find::dir/$_:\n" if @foundLines;
          foreach (@foundLines) {
                    print "     $_\n";
          }
}
print "Completed recursive search for files named $glob containing ter
+m $grepTerm in directory $dir";
