Re: Listing all files with same filename

Yup, this is my degree course homework. And I'm doing distance learning so it is impossible for me to ask any tutor. I have to do research on my own. Hope somebody here can help me out. Any useful site link about perl to me? Thanks and I will try to work it out with File::find command.

I'm not implying that asking for help on homework is wrong. . . I don't think anyone is opposed to giving you direction (and you've gotten some already: use File::Find) IF you've shown that you've put in the effort. This usually means showing some code you've written in an attempt to solve the problem. What have you tried? Googling for "File::Find tutorial" turned up several promising links. -Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from doubletalk. My Biz	[reply]

There are many useful sites about perl. If you're meant to be learning perl as part of your degree (hooray for enlightened universities!) then your tutor should have told you a few useful places to start. If you have a choice of language to use, then use whichever you are most familiar with, rather than learning perl just for this task.	[reply]
