I am writing a perl script, to find me some files in the directory provided either as a command line arg or in the variable, what I am trying to do is, to go in the dir, look for files, run file command(also want to know if there is any alternative of unix file command) on files owned by particular user, and move it to some location if some pattern matched. Want to know how File::Find can help me with this. Below is the code. 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;


my $dirname = <STDIN>;
#chomp($dirname);
opendir(DIR, $dirname) or die "Can't opendir $dirname : $!\n";

while (defined(my $file = readdir(DIR))) {
print "$file\n";
}

closedir(DIR);
