If it weren't for the fact that I need (or would like) to integrate this into a much broader package of perl tools that I'm writing, rsync would be great. Perhaps the broader solution would be modify File::Find to support new(), so that unique iterations can be instantiated on an as-needed basis.

Also, it be nice if the wanted code could return a boolean to indicate whether the caller should continue. This could be nice for those looking to scan directories that have thousands of entries.

BTW, where's rync for WinXP? It doesn't seem to be part of my cygwin distribution... perhaps it was an option I didn't select? darn, and it's been a while since I even installed this stuff... ok, I guess i'll go look. dan
