Re: File::Find managing the %options versus \&wanted dichotomy

You put the \&wanted into the options hash. Example from documentation:

use File::Find;
    find({ wanted => \&process, follow => 1 }, '.');

Note also that \&wanted can return 0 to prune the tree (prevent processing sub dirs below the current one).

Perl is Huffman encoded by design.

Thanks - the wanted in the options hash solves the (false) dichotomy nicely. However, the return of 0 to prune the tree won't work because, for example, lost+found (an example included in the OP) is immediately below the mount point of its device - so that would mean pruning everything except the top directory, to take an extreme example of that approach.
