Re^6: reading file names to an array from the directory tree

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]

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

Am I right that it may filter out "." and ".." files? However, when I did `my @files = File::Find::Rule ->name( '*' ) ->in( @subdirs );` [download] there was no "." and ".." files. So how they were filtered out?	[reply] [d/l]

It makes no sense to include "." and ".." — they would be redundant or outside the selected branch — so they are never included except "." if it was the provided path. `>perl -MFile::Find::Rule -E"say for File::Find::Rule->in('.')" . a b bar bar/bar foo foo/foo >perl -MFile::Find::Rule -E"say for File::Find::Rule->file->in('.')" a b bar/bar foo/foo` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
