File::Finder - nice wrapper for File::Find ala find(1)
SYNOPSIS
use File::Finder;
## simulate "-type f"
my $all_files = File::Finder->type('f');
## any rule can be extended:
my $all_files_printer = $all_files->print;
## traditional use: generating "wanted" subroutines:
use File::Find;
find($all_files_printer, @starting_points);
## or, we can gather up the results immediately:
my @results = $all_files->in(@starting_points);
## -depth and -follow are noted, but need a bit of help for find:
my $deep_dirs = File::Finder->depth->type('d')->ls->exec('rmdir','{}');
find($deep_dirs->as_options, @places);
DESCRIPTION
File::Find is great, but constructing the wanted routine can
sometimes be a pain. This module provides a wanted-writer, using
syntax that is directly mappable to the find command's syntax.
Also, I find myself (heh) frequently just wanting the list of names
that match. With File::Find, I have to write a little accumulator,
and then access that from a closure. But with File::Finder, I can
turn the problem inside out.
