in reply to admin script help

File::Find has a neat utility called 'find2perl'. Take a few minutes to learn that, and it will write 90% of your script for you.

update I missed the part about using Perl 4 when I read your post the first time. If the File::Find module is out, then how about just opening a pipe from the "find" command?
