I want to search and perform operations on .txt files in the current and subdirecories. Everyone says that using File::Find as opposed to writing your own recursive function is the way to go. However, I don't find the perldoc very useful. Can someone give me a few examples of how to use this module? (particularly the find function). Is there anyway to use it similar to glob? (while defined(($filename = find(.txt file))) or something like that) Thanks for your help.
