File::Find::Object::Rule::Procedural - File::Find::Object::Rule's procedural interface
version 0.0309
use File::Find::Object::Rule; # find all .pm files, procedurally my @files = find(file => name => '*.pm', in => \@INC);
In addition to the regular object-oriented interface, File::Find::Object::Rule provides two subroutines for you to use.
find( @clauses )
rule( @clauses )
find and rule can be used to invoke any methods available to the OO version. rule is a synonym for find
find
rule
Passing more than one value to a clause is done with an anonymous array:
my $finder = find( name => [ '*.mp3', '*.ogg' ] );
find and rule both return a File::Find::Object::Rule instance, unless one of the arguments is in, in which case it returns a list of things that match the rule.
in
my @files = find( name => [ '*.mp3', '*.ogg' ], in => $ENV{HOME} );
Please note that in will be the last clause evaluated, and so this code will search for mp3s regardless of size.
my @files = find( name => '*.mp3', in => $ENV{HOME}, size => '<2k' ); ^ | Clause processing stopped here ------/
It is also possible to invert a single rule by prefixing it with ! like so:
!
# large files that aren't videos my @files = find( file => '!name' => [ '*.avi', '*.mov' ], size => '>20M', in => $ENV{HOME} );
