in reply to Does File::Find always visit files before subdirs?

is it guaranteed that files will always be visited before subdirectories?

Who's guarantee would you trust?

You have access to the code and it is not complicated. The version I have would do as you say quite reliably. A good test suite for your own application and use of File::Find might give you your best "guarantee".
