note smist In the subroutine named "wanted" that find2perl creates there is usage of the "&&" operator. If I understand it correctly, it's evaluating each expression, and if they evaluate to "true" it prints $name. Is the last "&&" necessary? There are no expressions after it; just goes to the print statement. <br> <br> <code> sub wanted { my ($dev,$ino,$mode,$nlink,$uid,$gid); (($dev,$ino,$mode,$nlink,$uid,$gid) = lstat($_)) && -d _ && print("$name\n"); } </code> 593984 594021
