Hi Monks!
I having an issue where I am trying to search in this directory structure for all html files that will match against a list of file names in an array(@filelist). I am finding all the HTMLs fine using "File::Find::Rule" searching recursively, but my issue is finding the best way to get only the file names that match in the @filelist array into the @found_html array in my code. Literally using the names in the @filelist array to search for them in the directory($dir) and place the found file names in the @found_html.

Thanks for looking!!!

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use File::Find::Rule;
use File::Basename;


my @filelist = qw(1234567_3a_20101000.html  99877_b_20111111.html 9987
+7_c_20111111.html 99877_d_20111111.html 99877_e_20111111.html 99877_u
+f_20111111.html
                  1234567_g_20101000.html  99877_h_20111111.html 99877
+_i_20111111.html 99877_j_20111111.html 99877_k_20111111.html 99877_ll
+_20111111.html
                  1234567_pl_20101000.html  99877_qa_20111111.html 998
+77_rr_20111111.html 99877_sx_20111111.html 99877_xy_20111111.html 998
+77_nm_20111111.html); 


my $dir = '/var/www/files/';

my $find = File::Find::Rule
  ->file
  ->name(qr/\.html?$/)
  ->start( $dir );

my $f_count = 0;

my @found_html;

while ( defined ( my $html_document = $find->match ) ) {
   $f_count++;

    my $filenames = basename( $html_document );

    foreach my $chk_file(@filelist) {

      if($chk_file=~/$filenames/g) {     
      push @found_html, $filenames;
     }
     
    }
