SYNOPSIS

use File::Find::Rule;
# find all the subdirectories of a given directory
my @subdirs = File::Find::Rule->directory->in( $directory );

# find all the .pm files in @INC
my @files = File::Find::Rule->file()
                            ->name( '*.pm' )
                            ->in( @INC );

$rule->file;
$rule->name( '*.pm' );
my @files = $rule->in( @INC );
