Hi Susanne,

check out the File::Find module

http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.6.1/lib/File/Find.html

do something like this (not tested):

use File::Find;

my $dir = "/whatever/directory/you/want";
my @the_files;

find(\&get_shtmls, $dir);

sub get_shtmls {

   push @the_files, $File::Find::name if /\.shtml$/;

   # in here, $_ is the name of the file (something.shtml)
   # and $File::Find::name is the full path to that file
   # "/whatever/directory/you/want/and/further/inside/something.shtml
}


__END__

then you can do something with the array of filenames, or instead of 
building an array, you can open a log file and print the list to that file

I know how to search for shtml files within one directory.  How would I do
this for all directories from the base directory out?

Thanks!
