Re: return an array from File::Find

Or, you can forget File::Find and use the much superior (IMHO) File::Find::Rule:

use File::Find::Rule;
my @files = File::Find::Rule->file->in( "dir", "../another_dir" );

Your code is (probably) not equivalent to what the OP wanted: his code (if it would have worked) will also return directories, while yours only returns proper files. Of course, the OP is not very clear about it: he speaks about files but his code does not check for just files.
