I am getting ready to release a script I have written and am currently in the process of removing any of the system dependent coding practices I may have used due to time constraints. This includes using the following block of code: 
foreach my $file (`find $dir -type f -name "*.txt"`)

My question is, what is the best method to replace this type of behavior? I have looked at 3 methods so far:

method 1: glob

advantages: built in to perl
disadvantages: ??

method 2: File::Util

advantages: gets both the files and the directories (although for this script I never need the list of directories)
disadvantages:
-does not seem to be a core perl module and I would like to keep the number of non-standard modules to a minimum for ease of use
- longer to code than using glob?

method 3: File::Find

advantages: seems to be a core perl module
disandvantages: ? - longer to code than using glob?

Any advice on what the best practice(s) are for finding files located in a single (known) directory would be great.

Thanks, Mav3067
