find . -type l -print
finds all symbolic links in the current directory and any subdirectories.
prints their paths too. however, it doesn't print the output like 'ls'
does, so you'd have to do something else to get the link's target.
a better way would be to write a perl script to get all the symbolic
links and then use readlink() to get the link's target.
