    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()

      In the big table at the top.

      To only returns the results that pass a -f test.

        Am I right that it may filter out "." and ".." files?
        However, when I did 
        my @files = File::Find::Rule
                                  ->name( '*' )
                            ->in( @subdirs );

        there was no "." and ".." files. So how they were filtered out?
