Subject: suggest namespace immediate children

From: Kevin Ryde <user42 [...] zip.com.au>
I've wanted in a couple of places to find only the immediate children of a namespace. So find("Foo") would give "Foo::Bar" but not descend to "Foo::Bar::Subpart" etc. As an idea for a feature, perhaps a variation on find_in_namespace() could look only for such one-level sub-names. I wouldn't want the given "Foo" included in the return, the same as it's not included in find_in_namespace(). Dunno what a good function name might be. find_submodules("Foo",@inc) perhaps, if that suggested one-level rather than whole namespace ... -- Restaurant jargon elucidated for the layman: "Special" -- almost gone off so has to be sold today.

find_submodules works for me. I can't say I've ever needed that myself, but if you have someone else must have. It should be fairly straightforward to do, if I can only find the time.

I was nosing around Lingua::Any::Numbers which does a lot of readdirs and catfiles etc to find two-level modules roughly Lingua::([A-Z]+)::(Numbers|Numeros|Num2Word) Maybe some sort of find-by-pattern could be interesting. Or a module names walker with a callback or a limited depth. Too much generality might be both hard work and not much use, but if a traversal or a few things could be done cleanly ...

It seems like this could be done by exposing more of File::Find's interface, this example could have been done by adding maxdepth => 2 and grepping the results, although that might still be wasteful given that the leaf names are effectively constants. Perhaps using File::Find::Rule would make the interface cleaner, it might be possible to hook in some extra rules specific to modules. FWIW it looks like Module::Find's findsubmod function does exactly what you originally wanted.

Ah, yes. I forget why I thought Module::Util was better :).
