Hi Monks,
i am trying to find all '.dll' files and '.exe' files stored in a directory(this directory may also contain other files) and storing those extracted files in say @array_files and printing them..

i am using the following code for that..

the problem is........
i am able to extract only the files that i explicitly mentioned the full name of the file given to the file variable $name below.
i.e only test1.dll files are extracting other names with .dll are not coming..
if i use $name = "/*.dll|*.exe/" to extract my required .exes and .dlls.. the module is not at all looking into and matching the pattern and failing at 'if' condition..
shall i have to use other module for this req.. or is any other way to do using File::Find?
                        
#!/usr/bin/perl

use File::Find;
$dir = ".";
$name = "test1.dll";
filefind($name);

 sub filefind
 {
 # my $aName = @_;
 # my $file = $File::Find::aName;
  my @dirs = ($dir);
  find(\&mysub, @dirs);
  return @files;
 }
 print "files are @files\n";
 sub mysub 
 {
   if ($_ =~ $name)
   {
   
    push @files, $_;
 
   }
 }
