Hi,
File::Find wasn't my friend in the past. Therefore i appreciate your interesting article. A few times i looked for possibility to work with File::Find as can be done with gnu-find regarding the maxdepth-feature.
The no_chdir-parameter seemed to me as a possible beginning for this.
But when i tested the concerning code-snipped in your article i couldn't recognize any difference between false or true no_chdir
# cat pf1
#! /usr/local/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use File::Find;
my $dir = shift @ARGV;
find({wanted => sub {print $File::Find::name,"\n" if -d},
no_chdir => 0}, "$dir");
print "\n";
find({wanted => sub {print $File::Find::name,"\n" if -d},
no_chdir => 1}, "$dir");
given directory
da
# find da
da
da/s1
da/s1/f1
da/s1/f2
da/s2
da/s2/sx
da/s2/sx/sa
da/s2/sx/f4
da/s2/sx/f5
da/s2/sy
da/s2/f3
da/s3
da/s3/sz
da/s3/sz/f7
da/s3/sz/f8
da/s3/f6
da/s4
pf1' output
# ./pf1 ./da
./da

./da/s3
./da/s3/sz

What's the problem ?
greetings, tos

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

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).
