File::Find is a standard module. I haven't used it, but it looks pretty
robust. You can find out more about it using:
perldoc File::Find
I know that _Learning_Perl_ has a chapter on modules, but I've only used
a couple of the standard ones. Does anyone else out there have pointers
to other useful tutorials?
I don't know how the functions within File::Find compare to the non-module
functions.
CPAN is a repository for perl modules. If you're trying to do something
difficult in perl, it's a place to look so that you don't reinvent the
wheel. On the other side, it's a place to post modules that you've
written that you think will be useful for others to reuse.
