README for File::Find::Rule 0.28 =head1 NAME File::Find::Rule - Alternative interface to File::Find =head1 SYNOPSIS 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 ); =head1 DEPENDENCIES This module has external dependencies on the following modules: Cwd File::Find File::Spec Number::Compare Test::More Text::Glob =head1 INSTALLATION perl Build.PL perl Build test and if all goes well perl Build install =head1 HISTORY What changed over the last 3 revisions =over =item 0.28 Tuesday 18th May, 2004 exposed %X_tests and @stat_tests as package variables, and make a _call_find method for File::Find::Rule::Filesys::Virtual =item 0.27 Wednesday 25th February, 2004 Changed to write_makefile_pl to 'traditional' from 'passthrough'. Fixes INDIRECTLY REPORTED install problems caused by new Module::Build being backwards incompatible. =item 0.26 Monday 10th November, 2003 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. =back =head1 AUTHOR Richard Clamp with input gained from this use.perl discussion: http://use.perl.org/~richardc/journal/6467 Additional proofreading and input provided by Kake, Greg McCarroll, and Andy Lester andy@petdance.com. =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright (C) 2002,2003 Richard Clamp.
