The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: File::Locate
DSLIP: bdpOp
description: cache multiple file searches done in paths
userid: DORNER (Thomas Dorner)
chapterid: 10 (File_Names_Systems_Locking)
communities:
similar:
File::Find
rationale:
File::Locate is a Perl module to cache filenames and directories
for multiple file searches so that your script only has to browse
the appropriate directories once. To achive this, it mainly uses a
hash containing filenames and their corresponding directories.
I used this module for a script analyzing a big tree of source
modules. After introducing this modul, the process of locating the
scattered include files was notably faster than before. (The include
statements of the modules didn't contain directory informations.)
File::Find works the other way around, you must know before
starting which files you are going to need.
