Re^3: Unix shell ls vs readdir

[Anonymous Monk]

If you're looking for files within a single known directory, File::Find (or the recurse method of Path::Class::Dir) will be of little value to you. Their purpose is to call a subroutine for every file under a certain point. Any filtering must be done inside your subroutine.

Options controlling depth-first or breadth-first processing of the directory tree will only effect order. No filtering would be implied.
