in thread Searching Sub Dir for Files

Well our Unix box has the bare minimum when it comes to perl... no modules installed. I cant install it on the unix box. As for #1, lets say if I install it on my PC using ppm, and use the Telnet Module to telnet over and use File:Find to search directories, would that work? Pao

    no, it can't work -- if File::Find is on your pc, it can only be executed on your pc and so will only find your files, not the servers...

    "no modules installed" ... are you _sure_?? you really have just /usr/local/bin/perl and _nothing_ else? doing locate perl and locate .pm brings up _nothing_? (is this a system where everything has to be tiny? why isn't here a normal perl install?)

    just for kicks, try doing perl -MFile::Find -e 1 on the command line and see if you get an error or not.
