I've used File::Find before, actually, but I just need to get all the files
so it was easy. I didn't really have to write a function that did any
filtering on them.
Ahh. If the File::Find documentation could be better, that too would be 
a chance to stage a violent overthrow of the current CPAN author(s) (if 
any)...  -laugh-   (I'm just trying to incite some drama.)
I agree with Andy that you can't (shouldn't) *change* an established 
module's interface, even if it looks clunky with 2008 eyeballs, but 
there's no harm in adding helper methods to make hardish things easier 
(internally using the same guts)...
Since I don't think I've ever used File::Find, I'll shut up now.  :)
