Re: Searching Multiple directories???

Try passing an array reference as the value for 'in':

     in => \@ARGV

Otherwise the first element is treated as the directory to search and the remaining elements are treated as parameters to find.

You could consider arming yourself with some of the many wonderful Perl books around as well: Effective Perl Programming - D'Foy et al Conway's OO Perl MJD's Higher Order Perl In particular I would recommend the Perl Cookbook.	[reply]

You suggest these to someone who is yet to learn about references? They are excellent books, but really not appropriate for a beginner! True laziness is hard work	[reply]
