Once.

I'm pretty sure that John implied using it on another computer.

Are there ways to make Eudora tell you it's directory settings? In that
case, AppleEvents can help and tell you.

If you must do it by hand, why not put a "kill VCF files" file with
hardcoded file paths in the preferences folder. Simple format: one per
text line. You can fall back onto the default search, maybe even create
a default preferences file, if one doesn't exist.

But File::Find probably still is easier than traversing each directory
by handwritten code.
