[MacPerl] searching directories



Dear sir,

Please could you advise me as a newcomer to Perl. I am trying to gather
documents from a variety of directories, some deeply nested. Once I have
the files I then propose to copy them somewhere else and maybe export
the data into filemaker or something like that. I realise that it may be
achievable by applescript but so far, I have not enjoyed using this
method!

Could you point me out to some sample perl code that might help? I would
expect that I need a subroutine or function that will be called if a
certain file is a directory. I understand how to do a basic list for one
level but am stuck as to how to go say 5 levels deep.

Many thanks for your assistance.
