perl newbie . &&..programming newbie (question 2)

Hello everyone,

I am having to do a lot of perl scripting these days and I am learning a lot.

I have this problem

I want to move files from a folder and all its sub folders to one parent folder, they are all .gz files..

there is folder1\folder2\*.gz
and there are about 50 folders like this..

I have so far I have managed to extract(.gz files) them and do some processing on them and dump the results,but now i run the script going to every folder and file manually :-(...

I also looked at few threads but could not find any.

Any help on this regard will be very helpful.

Thanks for your help and time
Xytiz
