UNIX Find A File Command – nixCraft
The . represent the current directory and the -name option specifies
all pl (perl) files. The quotes avoid the shell expansion and it is
necessary when you want to use wild card based search (without quotes
the shell would replace *.pl with the list of files in the current
directory).
