perl -p -e "s/^(File::Find::find)/my \$cwd = Cwd::cwd();$1/"
[download]

Thanks, that's a good suggestion.

I'm trying to put something together for...how do you say...lusers, who aren't that sophisticated, and probably couldn't type that in given 10 tries. Ultimately I'm going to make a standalone that they can give options too, like:

foo . -mtime -7 -ls
[download]

Though now that I think about it, that might be too much for them also.

I've now got a version of find2perl that works for -ls and -exec in windows (but is unchanged elsewhere). I've tried this in the find2perl output to reduce typing on the luser's part:

open(STDOUT,'|perl') or die "...";
[download]

but the command prompt returns before the final output starts and the first line of output doesn't line up. Reopening STDOUT and printing a newline seems to fix this.

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
