I know this is kind of an old thread, but I was wondering if anyone has any code that will recursively go through a directory structure and find ALL the PERL modules and then print out the version. My Red Hat Linux distro has /usr/local/lib/perl5 and then the sub-dirs 5.8.5 and site_perl. How would I sweep through these two sub-dirs, find all the .pm files, for example, and then have it give me the VERSION if a VERSION variable exist in the .pm file? The reason I ask is I have 4 machines which I must compare VERSIONs on. So if I can get the output into 4 individual files I can easily import the data into a spreadsheet and compare. I have a small bash script that seems to work, but I'm looking for an efficient PERL method. I am just learning PERL i.e. I'm a few pages into the 5th ED. of the O'Reilly book, so the coding required is still a bit over my head, yet I have this task to complete for the boss man. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
