Re: Need help with File::Find

[toadi]

my (@TOP) =            # top level directories
  qw(/www);
sub PRUNE {            # don't search these dirs
  ## $_[0] is basename, $_[1] is full path
  $_[0] =~ /private/;
}
sub IGNORE {            # don't notice these files
  ## $_[0] is basename, $_[1] is full path
  $_[0] =~ /^\.|~$|\.(gif|jpe?g)$/;
}

find (sub {
    return $File::Find::prune = 1
      if PRUNE $_, $File::Find::name;
    return unless -f;    # only files
    return if IGNORE $_, $File::Find::name;
      }, @TOP);

Stolen from merlyn long time ago, but I use it all the time for this situation.
