I looked at File::Find weeks ago, and it was so traumatic an experience that I put it out of my mind. It's been totally rewritten, and in a very unportable manner. Lots of substr()'s and rindex()'s instead of regexes, presumably for speed, but it makes it impossible to port, as-is. Does anyone have any guidance here? I am tempted at the moment to just use the File::Find from 5.005, which is far more portable. Can someone who knows -- perhaps the person(s) who rewrote File::Find -- help out here, a bit? In order to make this portable, it's going to have to be substantially rewritten (again). -- Chris Nandor pudge@pobox.com http://pudge.net/ Open Source Development Network pudge@osdn.com http://osdn.com/
