File::Find seems grossly inefficient for performing simple file tasksby taint (Chaplain) |

taint has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Greetings, In an effort to figure out how to perform the equivalent of this shell script: using Perl. I made use of one of the Perl utilities, find2perl. After reading it's syntax, I used what I understood to be the equivalent: -- with 2 exceptions; 1) I added -iname '*.xz' 2) I was unable to define time in minutes, as only -ctime is available, which == day(s). I had expected a similarly short equivalent to be returned upon execution. But much to my surprise, I received the following: Is this right?! I'm not going to pretend to be a Perl GURU -- far from it. But even after removing the comments, this seems to inefficient -- no? Anyway, if this is really the best option to perform such a short task in a shell with Perl. It looks to me that "shelling out" within Perl is more efficient -- minus Taint, of course. Thank you for any consideration in this matter. --chris #!/usr/bin/perl -Tw use perl::always; my $perl_version = "5.12.4"; print $perl_version;
