in reply to Find a particular directory in a directory

Then why not do it from *nix; that is, from the command line, with "unix system calls" rather than asking the question at a site focused on Perl?

Unless your intent is to bone up on system, exec and backticks, your rationale for not using the best tool in your toolbox is pretty feeble; arguably, as feeble as the frequent 'plaint that 'I can't install modules..." and similar.

    More feeble. I have worked at places where you got the black bag if you installed anything yourself. Everything had to go through 'official channels' no matter how trivial.
