# File::Wildcard::Find(3pm)

Simple interface to File::Wildcard

## NAME

File::Wildcard::Find - Simple interface to File::Wildcard

## SYNOPSIS

```
  use File::Wildcard::Find;
  findbegin( "/home/me///core");
  while (my $file = findnext()) {
     unlink $file;
  }
```

## DESCRIPTION

File::Wildcard provides a comprehensive object interface that allows you to do powerful processing with wildcards. Some consider this too unwieldy for simple tasks.

The module File::Wildcard::Find provides a straightforward interface. Only a single wildcard stream is accessible, but this should be sufficient for one liners and simple applications.

## FUNCTIONS

### findbegin

This takes 1 parameter, a path with wildcards as a string. See  File::Wildcard for details of what can be passed.

### findnext

Iterator that returns successive matches, then undef.

### findall

Returns a list of all matches
