File::Find 5.8.8

File::Find is a Perl module to traverse a directory tree. SYNOPSIS use File::Find; find(&wanted, @directories_to_search); sub wanted { ... } use File::Find; finddepth(&wanted, @directories_to_search); sub wanted { ... } use File::Find; find({ wanted => &process, follow => 1 }, .); These are functions for searching through directory trees doing work on each file found similar to the Unix find command. File::Find exports two functions, find and finddepth. They work similarly but have subtle differences. find find(&wanted, @directories); find(%options, @directories); find() does a depth-first search over the given @directories in the order they are given. For each file or directory found, it calls the &wanted subroutine. (See below for details on how to use the &wanted function). Additionally, for each directory found, it will chdir() into that directory and continue the search, invoking the &wanted function on each file or subdirectory in the directory. finddepth finddepth(&wanted, @directories); finddepth(%options, @directories); finddepth() works just like find() except that is invokes the &wanted function for a directory after invoking it for the directorys contents. It does a postorder traversal instead of a preorder traversal, working from the bottom of the directory tree up where find() works from the top of the tree down..
