FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION

$hash

This variable stores all the files found so far.

doit()

This function actually does the purging by checking if the handle at hand is a regular file and if os adding it to a hash.

hash($$)

This function receives a directory and scans it using File::Find and fills up a hash with all the files found there. The function also receives whether the file names requested should be with full path or not.

list($$)

This does the same as hash but returns a list as a result.

TEST($)

Test suite for this module.
