From http://search.cpan.org/perldoc/Path::Iterator::Rule#SYNOPSIS, you add whatever checks you need, same algorithm as File::Random, it reads the whole directory tree but only one filename at a time in memory
sub random_file {
my @dirs = @_;
my $rule = Path::Iterator::Rule->new; # match anything
$rule->file->size(">10k"); # add/chain rules
# iterator interface
my $next = $rule->iter( @dirs );
my $random_file;
my $i = 0;
while ( my $file = $next->() ) {
if( rand $i++ < 1 ){
$random_file = $file;
}
}
return $random_file;
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
