File::Find is great, but constructing the wanted routine can sometimes be a pain. File::Finder provides a wanted-writer, using syntax that is directly mappable to the find(1) command's syntax.

A File::Finder object contains a hash of File::Find options, and a series of steps that mimic find's predicates. Initially, a File::Finder object has no steps. Each step method clones the previous object's options and steps, and then adds the new step, returning the new object. In this manner, an object can be grown, step by step, by chaining method calls. Furthermore, a partial sequence can be created and held, and used as the head of many different sequences.
