Hi,<br />
I have a problem where I was asked to find if a particular directory exists in a filesystem. For example we have SunOS unix operating system which has /uXX filesystems. I need a perl script which would determine which all filesystems contain a directory called 'odsap1'. <br />
Could anyone please provide with a perl script which would search all the filesystems and determine which all would contain this directory called, 'odsap1'.<br />
Thanks in advance. Your help is really appreciated

How do I find if a specific directory exists in a filesystem using perl

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages with over 25 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large-scale development projects.  Perl gained widespread popularity as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting language, in part due to its regular expression and string parsing abilities. In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications.
