Re: using File::Find for reading files in order

Use preprocess to tell find what order to process each directory in (untested):

find( {
        preprocess => sub { sort { $a <=> $b || $a cmp $b } @_ },
        wanted => sub { next if /^\.+$/...}
    },
    $dir
);

Either that, or if there are many files that will be skipped by the regexp, sort the results just before returning them. `return sort {$a <=> $b} @messages;` [download] • another intruder with the mooring in the heart of the Perl	[reply] [d/l]
