perl-path-iterator-rule 1.014
Iterative, recursive file finder
Path::Iterator::Rule iterates over files and directories to identify ones matching a user-defined set of rules. The API is based heavily on File::Find::Rule, but with more explicit distinction between matching rules and options that influence how directories are searched. A Path::Iterator::Rule object is a collection of rules (match criteria) with methods to add additional criteria. Options that control directory traversal are given as arguments to the method that generates an iterator.
A summary of features for comparison to other file finding modules:
provides many helper methods for specifying rules
offers (lazy) iterator and flattened list interfaces
custom rules implemented with callbacks
breadth-first (default) or pre- or post-order depth-first searching
follows symlinks (by default, but can be disabled)
directories visited only once (no infinite loop; can be disabled)
doesn't chdir during operation
provides an API for extensions
As a convenience, the PIR module is an empty subclass of this one that is less arduous to type for one-liners.
