Hi,
I've /share_folder with many user folders.
e.g.,
/share_folder/user_a
/share_folder/user_b

I would like to scan all user folders for files that are older than 30
days and delete them. Is this doable with Perl?
Regards,
Norman

Not the prettiest way but here is how I check if File::Find is installed:
