Simultaneous searching for files (names matching certain criteria) in several directo
Hello everyone,
My OS is AIX 5.2
I would like some help in getting command syntax that does the following:
1. Searches simultaneously several directories downward;
2. Checks every subdirectory in each directory (and so on...) for file names that contain certain characters such as “~”, start or end (or both) with “# “sign, start with “tset”;
3. Displays these files first with the option of deletion;
4. Or: one command for displaying and another for deleting
Thank you to all responders.

cpanplus::internals::search

CPANPLUS::Internals::Search(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			    CPANPLUS::Internals::Search(3)

NAME

       CPANPLUS::Internals::Search - internals for searching for modules

SYNOPSIS

	   my $aref = $cpan->_search_module_tree(
			       type    => 'package',
			       allow   => [qr/DBI/],
			   );

	   my $aref = $cpan->_search_author_tree(
			       type    => 'cpanid',
			       data    => @old_results,
			       verbose => 1,
			       allow   => [qw|KANE AUTRIJUS|],
			   );

	   my $aref = $cpan->_all_installed( );

DESCRIPTION

       The functions in this module are designed to find module(objects) based on certain criteria and return them.

METHODS

   _search_module_tree( type => TYPE, allow => @regexes, [data => @previous_results ] )
       Searches the moduletree for module objects matching the criteria you specify. Returns an array ref of module objects on success, and false
       on failure.

       It takes the following arguments:

       type
	   This can be any of the accessors for the "CPANPLUS::Module" objects.  This is a required argument.

       allow
	   A set of rules, or more precisely, a list of regexes (via "qr//" or plain strings), that the "type" must adhere too. You can specify as
	   many as you like, and it will be treated as an "OR" search.	For an "AND" search, see the "data" argument.

	   This is a required argument.

       data
	   An arrayref of previous search results. This is the way to do an "AND" search -- "_search_module_tree" will only search the module
	   objects specified in "data" if provided, rather than the moduletree itself.

   _search_author_tree( type => TYPE, allow => @regexex, [data => @previous_results ] )
       Searches the authortree for author objects matching the criteria you specify. Returns an array ref of author objects on success, and false
       on failure.

       It takes the following arguments:

       type
	   This can be any of the accessors for the "CPANPLUS::Module::Author" objects. This is a required argument.

       allow
	   A set of rules, or more precisely, a list of regexes (via "qr//" or plain strings), that the "type" must adhere too. You can specify as
	   many as you like, and it will be treated as an "OR" search.	For an "AND" search, see the "data" argument.

	   This is a required argument.

       data
	   An arrayref of previous search results. This is the way to do an "and" search -- "_search_author_tree" will only search the author
	   objects specified in "data" if provided, rather than the authortree itself.

   _all_installed()
       This function returns an array ref of module objects of modules that are installed on this system.
