NAME

paths - a fast recursive file finder

SYNOPSIS

use paths;

.say for paths;                             # all files from current directory

.say for paths($dir);                       # all files from $dir

.say for paths(:dir(* eq '.git'));          # files in ".git" directories

.say for paths(:file(*.ends-with(".json");  # all .json files

.say for paths(:recurse);                   # also recurse in non-accepted dirs

DESCRIPTION

Exports a subroutine paths that creates a Seq of absolute path strings of files for the given directory and all its sub-directories (with the notable exception of . and ..).

ARGUMENTS

• directory

The only positional argument is optional: it can either be a path as a string or as an IO object. It defaults to the current directory. Thei (implicitely) specified directory will always be investigated, even if the directory name does not match the :dir argument.

• :dir

The named argument :dir accepts a matcher to be used in smart-matching with the basename of the directories being found. It defaults to skipping all of the directories that start with a period.

• :file

The named argument :file accepts a matcher to be used in smart-matching with the basename of the file being found. It defaults to True, meaning that all possible files will be produced.

• :recurse

The named argument :recurse accepts a boolean value to indicate whether subdirectories that did not match the :dir specification, should be investigated as well.
