You need the File::Find module. It's a standard part of Perl. -- <http://www.dave.org.uk> "The first rule of Perl club is you do not talk about Perl club." -- Chip Salzenberg	[reply]

IO::Dir would be useful as well, especially if you want an object oriented interface to your directories. It is part of the Perl distribution too.	[reply]
