I dunno, for some reason I've always had a hard time getting my head around the API for `File::Find`. For me, and YMMV, File::Find::Rule is a little more intuitive. -- vek --	[reply] [d/l]

And if you like the find(1) command, also look at File::Finder, which is more find(1)-like than File::Find::Rule. -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker Be sure to read my standard disclaimer if this is a reply.	[reply]

Can you give my a syntax example? And how about CPU time, will this take longer than doing an ls and string matching? We've got a lot of folders to go through, and I'm looking for a relatively quick way to do it...	[reply]

"ls /usr/local/farms///input/$corp" is not recursive. File::Find isn't incredibly slow if there aren't any subdirectories under /usr/local/farms that aren't matched by /usr/local/farms///input, but glob is likely to be faster than File::Find.	[reply]
