20 # and force our crack into the main namespace

30 File::Find::Object::Rule inherits File::Find::Rule's extensibility. It
31 is now possible to extend it, using the following conventions.
32 Declare your package
34 package File::Find::Object::Rule::Random;
35 use strict;
37 use warnings;
38 Inherit methods from File::Find::Object::Rule
40 # take useful things from File::Find::Object::Rule
41 use base 'File::Find::Object::Rule';
42 Force your madness into the main package
44 # and force our crack into the main namespace
46 sub File::Find::Object::Rule::random () {
47 my $self = shift()->_force_object;
48 $self->exec( sub { rand > 0.5 } );
49 }
50 Yes, we're being very cavalier here and defining things into the main
52 File::Find::Object::Rule namespace. This is due to lack of
53 imaginiation on my part - I simply can't find a way for the functional
54 and oo interface to work without doing this or some kind of
55 inheritance, and inheritance stops you using two
56 File::Find::Object::Rule::Foo modules together.
57 For this reason try and pick distinct names for your extensions. If
59 this becomes a problem then I may institute a semi-official registry of
60 taken names.
61 Taking no arguments.
63 Note the null prototype on random. This is a cheat for the procedural
64 interface to know that your sub takes no arguments, and so allows this
65 to happen:
66 find( random => in => '.' );
68 If you hadn't declared "random" with a null prototype it would have
70 consumed "in" as a parameter to it, then got all confused as it doesn't
71 know about a '.' rule.
72
74 The callback can access the File::Find::Object::Result using
75 "$self->finder->item_obj()".

90 File::Find::Rule, so maybe check that out.
