Perl find: locating single file or multiple files
Not what you're looking for?
Please help with the following programming problem.
I always use the following find command in Unix to locate one or several files:
find / -name filename -type f 2>errormessage
The Unix find command is very slow. It takes lot of time to get the required results. I was told Perl has one of the best find command.
Please provide me the find command for Perl. How to use it? How the result will be displayed? Using the command I should be able to locate a single file or multiple files.
