The word "wanted" is why I loathe File::Find so much, because it is
deceiving. It should really be
find( \&function_that_gets_called_once_for_each_file, $targetdir );
sub function_that_gets_called_once_for_each_file {
print $File::Find::name, "\n";
}
That should be a bit clearer.
I would suggest you abandon File::Find entirely and use File::Next,
so you can do this:
my $files = File::Next::files( $targetdir );
while ( my $filename = $files->() ) {
print $filename, "\n";
}
Much clearer, yes?
