Details:
When using -exec {}, find replaces {} with either an absolute path or a path
relative to the current directory. Some times you need a path relative to the
subdirectory you're searching in.
Example:
Your say
find ./lib -name '*.pm' -exec ... {} \;
And you need {} to expand to:
Text/Glyffer.pm
XML/Paffer.pm
And not to:
./lib/Text/Glyffer.pm
./lib/XML/Paffer.pm
An option like the -p for the patch program to control {} expansion would be
nice.
