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