Yes, we can.Smilie
If your find statements are exactly the same otherwise, you can combine them to one
Code:
find ${d}/backup ${d}/tmp -type f -mtime +3 '(' -name '*.zip' -o -name '*.CSV' -o -name '*.txt' ')' -exec echo rm -f {} \;

I changed the order, so the more "expensive" name comparison is after the simple file type and age checks. -a (AND) is only for readablity - can be omitted.
Last but not least, this should be secured:
Code:
cd $ORDATA || exit #fatal - directory must exist!

Locale::Codes::LangFam(3pm)				 Perl Programmers Reference Guide			       Locale::Codes::LangFam(3pm)

NAME
Locale::Codes::LangFam - standard codes for language extension identification SYNOPSIS
use Locale::Codes::LangFam; $lext = code2langfam('apa'); # $lext gets 'Apache languages' $code = langfam2code('Apache languages'); # $code gets 'apa' @codes = all_langfam_codes(); @names = all_langfam_names(); DESCRIPTION
The "Locale::Codes::LangFam" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying language families, such as those as defined in ISO 639-5. Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 639-5 language family codes will be used. SUPPORTED CODE SETS
There are several different code sets you can use for identifying language families. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a constant that is automatically exported by this module. For example, the two are equivalent: $lext = code2langfam('apa','alpha'); $lext = code2langfam('apa',LOCALE_LANGFAM_ALPHA); The codesets currently supported are: alpha This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) codes from ISO 639-5 such as 'apa' for Apache languages. This is the default code set. ROUTINES
