"readdir is low-level, avoid it, use Path::Tiny"

After having another Déjà vu because you post this more often i decided to stop being ignorant and read the manual of Path::Tiny. This is cool stuff.

And i think the links to similar modules the author provides, are also very, very useful.

Let me cite from the docs of Path::Iterator::Rule, if you aren't the author ;-)

use Path::Iterator::Rule; my $rule = Path::Iterator::Rule->new; # match anything $rule->file->size(">10k"); # add/chain rules # iterator interface my $next = $rule->iter( @dirs ); while ( defined( my $file = $next->() ) ) { ... } # list interface for my $file ( $rule->all( @dirs ) ) { ... }

And IMHO The Real Thing is:

$rule->contents_match(qr/BEGIN .* END/xs); $rule->line_match(qr/^new/i, qr/^Addition/);

Thank you very much for pointing me to this stuff and best regards, Karl
