find2perl

[Ed Doyle]

Hi,
I am new to perl. Seems to me the following should work, but it does not

print("Hello World!\n\n");
find2perl . -name dsc00970.jpg -print;

When I run it I get the following:

[ed@localhost Flame]$ perl junk1.pl
Hello World!

Can't locate object method "name" via package "dsc00970"
(perhaps you forgot to load "dsc00970"? ) at junk1.pl line 4.

Anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Ed

No, that's not how you use it. That utility is supposed to be
invoked from the command line, not from inside a perl script.

#!/bin/sh
echo "Creating a perl script from a 'find' command"
find2perl . -name dsc00970.jpg -print > findit.pl
perl findit.pl
