The File::Find module is not from CPAN, it's in the standard distribution. Study the code if you'd like. One problem with most directory-recursion code is that they follow symlinks that can lead to infinite loops. -- Jeff "japhy" Pinyan [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~japhy/ RPI Acacia brother #734 http://www.perlmonks.org/ http://www.cpan.org/ ** Look for "Regular Expressions in Perl" published by Manning, in 2002 ** <stu> what does y/// stand for? <tenderpuss> why, yansliterate of course.
