in reply to Re^4: File::find preprocess problem
in thread File::find preprocess problem

I don't understand why so many folks like these other modules when a simple find() will often do the job! I guess the documentation could be improved?

Sure you do : It is tons easier, requires less brain power to use, has a more memorable interface

When is the last time you saw a question about how to use File::Find::Rule or Path::Class::Rule?

?node_id=3989;HIT=File%3A%3AFind%3A%3ARule;re=N

Found 11 nodes roughly between 2012-04-27 and 1999-10-04 (searched 100.00% of DB).



where title contains "File::Find::Rule"

?node_id=3989;HIT=File%3A%3AFind%20;HIS=%3B;re=N

Found 50 nodes roughly between 2012-04-27 and 2005-08-24 (searched 49.73% of DB).

Found 50 nodes roughly between 2005-08-24 and 2001-09-24 (searched 38.44% of DB).

Found 20 nodes roughly between 2001-09-24 and 1999-10-04 (searched 11.82% of DB).

Gee, 11 versus 120, and that is just on perlmonks
