Case-insensitive match for File::Find

[Prabh]

Hello all,
Just wanted to check if theres a 'case-insensitive' option while
searching for an element using File::Find. I'm going through the
module docs and cant see any mention to case-sensitivity.

I know I need to search for "foo", but dont know if its present as
"Foo" or "foo"....

For now, I'm using this very time-consuming cmd-line Unix find.

<%> find /home/abc123 | grep -i foo

Thanks for your time,
Prab

Well, the docs state that
" The wanted() function does whatever verifications you want."

So just write your wanted() function in such a way that it returns 1 iff the
current file name matches the searched-for file name in whatever way you
define "match".

Show us the code for your wanted() function.
Then we may be able to figure out why your code isn't working the way you
expect it to work.
