File::Find::Rule::Perl - Common rules for searching for Perl things

# Find all Perl files smaller than 10k
my @files = File::Find::Rule->perl_file
->size('<10Ki')
->in( $dir );
I write a lot of things that muck with Perl files. And it always annoyed me that finding "perl files" requires a moderately complex File::Find::Rule pattern.
File::Find::Rule::Perl provides methods for finding various Perl-related files.
The perl_module rule locates perl modules. That is, files that are named *.pm.
This rule is equivalent to ->file->name( '*.pm' )> and is included primarily for completeness.
The perl_test rule locates perl test scripts. That is, files that are named *.t.
This rule is equivalent to ->file->name( '*.t' )> and is included primarily for completeness.
The perl_installer rule locates perl distribution installers. That is, it locates Makefile.PL and Build.PL files.
The perl_script rule locates perl scripts.
This is any file that ends in .pl, or any files without extensions that have a perl "hash-bang" line.
The perl_file rule locates all files containing Perl code.
This includes all the files matching the above perl_module, perl_test, perl_installer and perl_script rules.
