File-Util

Changes for version 4.130420 - 2013-02-10

TRIAL version. Released to CPAN for those who may want to test drive it. The enhancements, improvements, feature additions, and bug fixes in this release are far to great to be enumerated here in the changes file. A git repository was set up for File::Util last December, and the commit logs will tell the full story of all changes.
The commit log can be read here: https://github.com/tommybutler/file-util/commits/master
A summary of new things would include the newer, more modern-style call syntax, user-definable custom error handlers, list_dir() callbacks plus advanced regular expression filtering features, much more comprehensive documentation including a manual and a cookbook, performance optimizations, the ability to enable/disable the verbose diagnostics that have hitherto been the default error mechanism, and much more. The quality of the distribution has also been greatly improved.
All new features are covered at length in the documentation, so anything you don't see here will be mentioned and throughly covered there. Full backward-compatibility with the 3.x series feature-set and syntax has been preserved
