How about this (as an alternative to the File::Find answers)?
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
use constant RECURSIVE => 1;
sub find_files_in_dir {
my ($dir,@extensions) = @_;
my $match = join('|',@extensions);
opendir(DIR,$dir) or die $!;
my @files =
map {
$_->{name} . '.' . $_->{extension};
}
grep {
$_->{extension} =~ m/\A(?:$match)\Z/o if $_;
}
map {
my $file_with_dir = $dir . '/' . $_;
if( -f $file_with_dir ){
{ name => $1, extension => $2} if m/\A(.*?)\.(.*?)\Z/o;
}elsif( RECURSIVE && -d $file_with_dir ){
map {
{name => $1, extension => $2} if m/\A(.*?)\.(.*?)\Z/o;
} find_files_in_dir($file_with_dir , @extensions );
}
} grep { !m/\A(?:\.+)\Z/o } readdir(DIR);
closedir(DIR);
return @files;
}
my @files = find_files_in_dir(
'.',
qw( html pl pm )
);
print Dumper(\@files),"\n";
Update: Added recursion
