Path::Tiny::Glob - File globbing utility
version 0.2.0
use Path::Tiny::Glob;
my $dzil_files = pathglob( '~/work/perl-modules/**/dist.ini' );
while( my $file = $dzil_files->next ) {
say "found a Dist::Zilla project at ", $file->parent;
}This module exports a single function by default, pathglob.
$list = pathglob( $glob );
$list = pathglob( \@path_segments );
This function takes in a shell-like file glob, and returns a Lazy::List of Path::Tiny objects matching it.
If you prefer to get all the globbed files in one go instead of
Lazy::Listed, you can import pathglob with the flag all:
use Path::Tiny::Glob pathglob => { all => 1 };
# now behaves like pathglob( '/foo/**' )->all;
my @files = pathglob( '/foo/**' );The function can also take an arrayref of path segments.
The segments can be strings, in which case they are obeying
the same globbing patterns as the stringy $glob.
$list = pathglob( [ 'foo', 'bar', '*', 'README.md' ] );
# equivalent to
$list = pathglob( 'foo/bar/*/README.md' );
The segments, however, can also be coderefs, which will
be passed Path::Tiny objects both as their argument and
as $_, and are expected to return true if the path
is matching.
$big_files = pathglob( [ 'foo/bar/**/', sub { -f $_ and -s $_ > 1E6 } );The segments can also be regexes, in which case they will be
compared to the paths' current basename.
@readmes = pathglob( [ 'foo/bar/**/', /^readme\.(md|mkd|txt)$/i );
Known limitation: backtracking paths using .. doesn't work.
-
*Matches zero or more characters.
-
?Matches zero or one character.
-
**Matches zero or more directories.
If
**is the last segment of the path, it'll return all descendent files.
my $globby = is_globby( './foo/*/bar' );Returns true if the argument contains any glob character (so ? or *).
Can be useful to determine if the input was an explicit path or a glob.
Not exported by default.
