in reply to searching multiple directories for one file

Try running find2perl with the find options of your choice. For instance:

find2perl . -depth -name 'foo.pl' -print

Save the results to a file and edit the sub "wanted" as desired to perform whatever function you want it to.

I've given you enough to push you in the right direction so you can come up with the rest of the solution on your own! ;-)
