NAME

6       File::Find::Rule::Perl - Common rules for searching for Perl things
7

SYNOPSIS

9         use File::Find::Rule       ();
10         use File::Find::Rule::Perl ();
11
12         # Find all Perl files smaller than 10k
13         my @files = File::Find::Rule->perl_file
14                                     ->size('<10Ki')
15                                     ->in('dir');
16
17         # Locate all the modules that PAUSE will index
18         my @mod = File::Find::Rule->no_index
19                                   ->perl_module
20                                   ->in('My-Distribution');

DESCRIPTION

23       I write a lot of things that muck with Perl files. And it always
24       annoyed me that finding "perl files" requires a moderately complex
25       File::Find::Rule pattern.
26
27       File::Find::Rule::Perl provides methods for finding various types Perl-
28       related files, or replicating search queries run on a distribution in
29       various parts of the CPAN ecosystem.

METHODS

32   perl_module
33       The "perl_module" rule locates perl modules. That is, files that are
34       named "*.pm".
35
36       This rule is equivalent to "->"file->name( '*.pm' )> and is included
37       primarily for completeness.
38
39   perl_test
40       The "perl_test" rule locates perl test scripts. That is, files that are
41       named "*.t".
42
43       This rule is equivalent to "->"file->name( '*.t' )> and is included
44       primarily for completeness.
45
46   perl_installer
47       The "perl_installer" rule locates perl distribution installers. That
48       is, it locates "Makefile.PL" and "Build.PL" files.
49
50   perl_script
51       The "perl_script" rule locates perl scripts.
52
53       This is any file that ends in .pl, or any files without extensions that
54       have a perl "hash-bang" line.
55
56   perl_file
57       The "perl_file" rule locates all files containing Perl code.
58
59       This includes all the files matching the above "perl_module",
60       "perl_test", "perl_installer" and "perl_script" rules.
61
62   no_index
63         # Provide the rules directly
64         $rule->no_index(
65             directory => [ 'inc', 't', 'examples' ],
66             file      => [ 'Foo.pm', 'lib/Foo.pm' ],
67         );
68
69         # Provide a META.yml to use
70         $rule->no_index( 'META.yml' );
71
72         # Provide a dist root directory to look for a META.yml in
73         $rule->no_index( 'My-Distribution' );
74
75         # Automatically pick up a META.yml from the target directory
76         $rule->no_index->in( 'My-Distribution' );
77
78       The "no_index" method applies a set of rules as per the no_index
79       section in a "META.yml" file.
