Of course, there's...

open(IN,"</etc/passwd");
while(<IN>) {
    chomp; next unless(/^([^:]+):/);
    $names=`find ~$1/.netscape -name prefs.js -o -name liprefs.js -pri
+nt`;
    @names=split /\n/, $names;
    push @files, @names;
}

Uh, getpwent returns all the info for all the users, and therefore all the homes.

Yours fails on a system that is YP'ed, er, NIS'ed.

YP/NIS uses a different way of specifying users other than /etc/passwd, eh? I'm left wondering if it's part of the POSIX spec or somewhere standard....

strredwolf:
(getpwent's worthy, but still, where's the full search?)

Basically, what happens is the grep tests each potential dir returned by its 2nd arg (the do block) to see if it's a directory. If it is, the entry ends up in @dirs...

It took me ages to figure this out, so it's worthy of a repeat. :o)

(Yes, it took 4 reads of perldoc -f grep to finally parse correctly.)
