Hi all, need some thoughts on this. I am looking to compare and contrast the number of file lines PER folder in each sub-directory on a given base directory. The compare and contrast method is easy enough handled by Tie::File, but how can I loop through each file to only compare it to EACH file in an entire single sub-directory set? For example:

A) Master Directory
AA) Subfolder 1
1) Sub Folder A
2) Sub Folder B
3) Sub Folder C
BB) Subfolder 2
1) Sub Folder A
2) Sub Folder B
3) Sub Folder C
etc...

I want to compare the lines of all files that end in a given extension (like .txt) in each sub folder A-C for each AA or BB subfolder ONLY. So if AA Subfolder 1 has 4 lines of text in each file per each sub-folder there, it is seperated from BB's subfolder comparision.

Hope that isn't confusing. Again I'm not concerned with grabbing the line numbers, that's easy enough through a count of an array, its breaking up each sub-folder into perhaps a while loop to separate it out that's difficult
