Here's the thing. I've written a script to recurse through a directory tree and find all the changed files therein. I've got a db file to hold checksums and so forth, but that's beside the point. I'm using File::Find to do the recursion for me, but I can't seem to figure out how to keep it from recursing through directories I don't want. For example, I don't want stuff from dotdirectories or from browser caches. I have been trying to use tests to ferret that out, but the script seems to read the files anyway. <snip> if (-s && -f && $File::Find::dir !~ /[Cc]ache/ && $File::Find::dir !~ /\/\.*\//) {
print "DEBUG: File found is : $_\n"; open(FILE, $_) or print REPORT "Could not open $File::Find::name: $!\n"; binmode(FILE); my $digest=Digest::MD5->new->addfile(*FILE)->hexdigest; close FILE; Am I barking up the wrong tree? Any suggestion for other useful modules? <snip> Thanks, John -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
