David, 

under each of these suddirs, I need all the eml files deleted but there 
are thousands of them and the actual file name is "training 2001.eml"
so my questions still remain, 

Can I have this search recursively down under all the pc#### subdir names?
Can I create a scalar like "/home/emstat/win32/backup/012004155140/pc*" so 
it will store all the pc subdirs?
Can I use reg exp such as a range of pc80[0-9] pc13[0-9] ?

                 It si not clear in my mind the setup you have. The 
process you want to use is probably File::Find which comes as standard portion of all 
Perl installs.  If I could picture 
the setup in my mind, I could give you a better picture of what to do.

                 Sorry.
Wags ;)
