Some consider this too unwieldy for simple tasks. The module File::Wildcard::Find provides a straightforward interface. Only a single wildcard stream is accessible, but this should be sufficient for one liners and simple applications. =head1 FUNCTIONS =head2 findbegin This takes 1 parameter, a path with wildcards as a string. See L for details of what can be passed. =head2 findnext Iterator that returns successive matches, then undef. =head2 findall Returns a list of all matches
