Re: Finding in multiple directories

    Have you read perlintro? It explains basic perl syntax, including, passing arguments to functions

    The module File::Find::Rule is easier to use than File::Find

      I couldnt find syntax to search in multiple directories

[reply]

        Tried the following,its not working,where $data,$files contains two directory names 

        
  my @libs = File::Find::Rule->file()
                              ->name( '*.lib(?:\.\d+)?$' )
                              ->in( $data,$files );
