NAME
    Path::Class::Rule - Iterative, recursive file finder with Path::Class

VERSION
    version 0.017

SYNOPSIS
      use Path::Class::Rule;

      my $rule = Path::Class::Rule->new; # match anything
      $rule->file->size(">10k");         # add/chain rules

      # iterator interface
      my $next = $rule->iter( @dirs );
      while ( my $file = $next->() ) {
        ...
      }

      # list interface
      for my $file ( $rule->all( @dirs ) ) {
        ...
      }

DESCRIPTION
    This module iterates over files and directories to identify ones
    matching a user-defined set of rules. The API is based heavily on
    File::Find::Rule, but with more explicit distinction between matching
    rules and options that influence how directories are searched. A
    "Path::Class::Rule" object is a collection of rules (match criteria)
    with methods to add additional criteria. Options that control directory
    traversal are given as arguments to the method that generates an
    iterator.

    As of version 0.016, this is now a thin subclass of Path::Iterator::Rule
    that operates on and returns Path::Class objects instead of bare file
    paths.

    See that module for details on features and usage.

EXTENDING
    This module may be extended in the same way as "Path::Iterator::Rule",
    but test subroutines receive "Path::Class" objects instead of strings.

    Consider whether you should extend "Path::Iterator::Rule" or
    "Path::Class::Rule". Extending this module specifically is recommended
    if your tests rely on having a "Path::Class" object.

LEXICAL WARNINGS
    If you run with lexical warnings enabled, "Path::Iterator::Rule" will
    issue warnings in certain circumstances (such as a read-only directory
    that must be skipped). To disable these categories, put the following
    statement at the correct scope:

      no warnings 'Path::Iterator::Rule';
