Re^4: reading file names to an array from the directory tree

One stupid question. in() and name() are subs in the package. What is file() there?

  use File::Find::Rule;
  # find all the subdirectories of a given directory
  my @subdirs = File::Find::Rule->directory->in( $directory );

  # find all the .pm files in @INC
  my @files = File::Find::Rule->file()
                              ->name( '*.pm' )
                              ->in( @INC );

`file`, `name` and `in` are all three class methods and object methods. `file` filters out results that fail a `-f` test.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

But where is a description of file() method? I did not find it. And what is the role of: `my @files = File::Find::Rule ->file()` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

In the big table at the top. To only returns the results that pass a `-f` test.	[reply] [d/l]
