I'm toying with Filesystem-like systems and the one thing I'd really like is a better abstraction for File::Find / File::Find::Rule. Especially being able to formulate queries as SQL is a very nice thing that allows interesting queries that would have to be programmed otherwise. Having queries for the file content is another interesting thing but might go too far. Adding content-queries is just a single attribute in the query language anyway.

Another thing is being able to nest VFSes, so that I can treat archives as directories, and I can access files over ssh / sftp, and I can also access archives as directories via ssh.

My two attempts at this live at FFRIndexed and Filesys::DB.
