Hey guys, this should be an easy one for someone wiser than I. I'm using File::Find to search through a directory and grab files with .txt, .jpg, and .gif files. I then want to put them into an array. However, I don't want to grab any files named "category.txt". For some reason my logic below isn't working and the category.txt files are being included. Can someone point me in the right direction? 
find(\&wanted, $dir); 

my @file_list;  

sub wanted{
    next if (-l && !-e );
   
    push (@file_list, $File::Find::name) if ((($_ =~ m/.txt$/gi) && ($
+_ !~ m/category.txt$/gi)) || ($_ 
=~ m/.jpg$/gi) || ($_=~ m/.tif$/gi));

}
