Perl
Search for files using Perl
Written by Adrian Pavone
I had to try to find a file in my eBooks collection, but due to various issues, this eBooks collection is only half organised at this point. I tried to search for the files using the Vista Search dialog in the top right corner (stolen right from Mac OS), but due to the fact they were on a mapped drive, this search functionality would not work (Worse, it was returning "No items match your search" rather than admitting it couldn't work). So I decided that I needed to write a Perl script that would allow me to search for files with a keyword in their filename.
