File::Find::Rule - Alternative interface to File::Find
use File::Find::Rule; # find all the subdirectories of a given directory my @subdirs = File::Find::Rule->directory->in( $directory ); # find all the .pm files in @INC my @files = File::Find::Rule->file() ->name( '*.pm' ) ->in( @INC ); # as above, but without method chaining my $rule = File::Find::Rule->new; $rule->file; $rule->name( '*.pm' ); my @files = $rule->in( @INC );
This module has external dependencies on the following modules:
Cwd File::Find File::Spec Number::Compare Test::More Text::Glob
perl Build.PL perl Build test
and if all goes well
perl Build install
What changed over the last 3 revisions
exposed %X_tests and @stat_tests as package variables, and make a _call_find method for File::Find::Rule::Filesys::Virtual
Changed to write_makefile_pl to 'traditional' from 'passthrough'. Fixes INDIRECTLY REPORTED install problems caused by new Module::Build being backwards incompatible.
Typo/thinko in File::Find::Rule::Extending corrected (spotted by Jim Cromie) Optimization to the stat-based tests. They now compile to code fragments saving much subroutine dispatch.
