Subject: documentation bug
Date: Wed, 09 Jan 2008 18:54:42 -0500
To: bug-File-Find-Iterator [...] rt.cpan.org
From: John SJ Anderson <genehack [...] genehack.org>
The Synopsis for File::Find::Iterator shows this: use File::Find::Iterator; my $find = File::Find::Iterator->new(dir => ["/home", "/var"], filter => \&isdir); In my hands, that doesn't work; I have to do this: use File::Find::Iterator; my $find = File::Find::Iterator->create(dir => ["/home", "/var"], filter => \&isdir); (that is, s/new/create/ for the method name.) This is actually consistent with the documentation in the Description section, which lists create() and doesn't list new() -- but it's fairly confusing to have code from the Synopsis fail to work. FWIW, the error I get when calling the new() method is: Unknow method dir at /home/genehack/test.pl line 8 Thanks for the module; it's exactly what I was looking for. chrs, john. -- "That's the problem with nature, something's always stinging you or oozing mucous all over you.
