Hello !

I'm trying to write a perl script that search for rar files(and eventually,unrar them into a folder) in a directory that has subdirs.

For example,let's say that i have dir "archive" and this dir contains "cd1","cd2" etc.

Script will get as argument "archive" and will search into it for rar files.Of course,it will open "cd1","cd2" dirs and unrar the content into another folder.

By now,i have a script that search for rar files and unrar only from a dir.But i don't know how to make it to search in every folder.

        opendir(DIR, $show_dir); #Opens The Directory
        my @tempfiles = grep(/\.rar$/,readdir(DIR)); #Scans for files 
+ending in .rar
        closedir(DIR); #Closes The Directory
        my $rar_file = $tempfiles[0]; #Chooses First .rar File Found
        $rar_file = "$show_dir\/$rar_file"; #Adds Full Path To Rar Fil
+e Name
        my $rar_command = "unrar e \"$rar_file\" \"$output_rar\""; #Cr
+eates The Command Used To Unrar
        print "[INFO] Unraring file, Please Wait.\n"; #Alerts The User
+ That We Are Going To Unrar
        `$rar_command`; #Unrars The File

Can someone help me with this?
