Finding a File inside a Directory Can't Post
I need to check if a file exist inside
a directory. For example

I want to check if the file video.mpg
does exist in /usr/src/images

Someone gave me an idea of put all
the files in an array and then search
inside the array.

No need for an array: just use a file test operator such as the one for (whoa!) file existence!

if ( -e "/usr/src/images/video.mpg" ) {
print "It does";
} else {
print "It doesn't";
