gasho, You could do this by creating a routine that is used with File::Find. Untested: `use File::Find; my @files; sub find_process { push @files, $File::Find::name if /\.xml$/; } find(\&find_process, 'C:/test'); ### Note: I'm not familiar with Windo +ws pathing.` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

See the File::* standard modules : File::Spec, File::Path, and also Cwd::abs_path().	[reply]

If what you want to do is further process the files, and especially if you want to find all matching files in a directory tree, then take a look at File::Find DWIM is Perl's answer to Gödel	[reply]
