Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Is it possible to read all the Offline Files from the respective folder on Windows XP? From my understanding it's not really a directory of files and it's more or less a special folder.

I'm trying to copy all offline files and dump them into a new folder on desktop.

Is it possible? Where would I start?

    The actual directory name is CSC under the Windows directory, that is: "$ENV{Windir}/CSC".
    There are many ways in perl to access all the files in a directory, from a simple glob with a foreach loop, through to opendir,readdir,closedir. You probably want the extra control which the later will give.
