If there's no other way, I may have to re-think it. But what I'm trying to do seems to me to fit the intent of File::Find, if not its actual capability.

What I have is a website with static html files generated from templates and content files. Some of the content from some of the content files gets incorporated in the templates of other files. So for instance, if a noticeboard gets updated, new items appear in the noticeboard menus of a set of files. So I want to search for noticeboard files that have been updated, and when I find one, I want to grab all the files in the directory related to that particular noticeboard.

If I can't get find to do the second search, I guess I'll just have to readdir myself, but it seems a shame not to be able to use File::Find again.
