Re: Parse for a name after a keyword search in all the files, given directory as input

[Discipulus]

Hello prash_sri and welcome to the monastery and to the wonderful world of Perl!

This of traversing directory structure is one of the first question asked here in the monastery: node id 847

Please read elder's wisdom: see Recursive Directory print where I point to the tachyon's solution.

Note that since that time you can now use local variable to open dirs like open my $dir instead of bareword DIRHANDLE syntax

  opendir my $path or die "unable to open '$path' dir for read!"

See opendir readdir telldir seekdir rewinddir and closedir pages.
