file search containing string

Hi:

How can I use perl to do the following -

--Look for a file on a filesystem containing a string such as
"Product Name 1.0.0.0.0"
--Then get the disk location path of the file and store the path in a variable.
--Pass the variable to an external java program.

Thanks a lot!

perldoc File::Find
perldoc perlretut

perldoc File::Basename

perldoc -f system

Once you've made an actual attempt, let us know if you encounter
difficulties, and we can probably help you fix it.
