Perl Searching

Hi.  I'm not a developer so I'll do my best at this.  I had a develoepr leave who had written a TON of code in perl.  My problem is that he has obviously used his own AD username and password to complete certain tasks within the perl code.  I need to search an entire drive where these .pl files are for the specific username.  At this point I don't need to replace anything just yet.. just need to be able to find anywhere he used that specific username so that I can determine what it's doing and where.

This is urgent, so 500 points it is!

Thanks in advance.

You mention AD (Active Directory?) so I assume this is on a Windows platform, but since you can still interface to AD from UNIX I won't assume. Which OS specifically?

ok folks I don't necessarily know how to divy up the points here.  The solution I was looking for truly was from kukno although I learned a lot about cygwin in the process.

How do you folks want me to handle this?

You should divvy up the points based on how valuable you find each comment.
