=head1 pfind - A Perl based find replacement

=head2 DESCRIPTION

B is a replacement for the standard B command where the countless

flags and options are mostly all replaced by a single option (B<--exec>) that 

can execute arbitrary Perl code.

See examples of B in action in the L.

=head2 DOCUMENTATION

You can find the documentation for the program itself on L.

After the program is installed, you can also get its documentation by running

any of the following commands: B, B or

B.

The built-in B<--help> rendering will be better if the B program is

installed. It usually comes in a B package on most systems.

=head2 INSTALLATION

=head3 Requirements

Building and installing this program only requires Perl modules from the

standard library. So as long as you have Perl installed (which should be the

case by default on almost all system), you should be able to install pfind using

one of the method below. This program requires Perl version 5.22 or above. You

can check which Perl you have installed with the following command:

    perl -v

=head3 Installing from the Git sources

To install the program manually from Git, you can run the following commands (you do need to have the B and B program installed):

    git clone https://github.com/mkende/pfind.git

    cd pfind

    perl Makefile.PL

    make

    make test

    sudo make install

=head3 Installing from CPAN

This module is available on CPAN (the Perl package manager). The CPAN command

should be installed on any system that has Perl (which, again, should mostly be

any system at all). So, to install B automatically using CPAN, you can 

just run the following command:

    cpan App::Pfind

Note: if this is the first time that you run the B command, you will be

asked to configure it. The default answer to most questions is usually fine.

=head2 DISTRIBUTION

The main development of this software is done on

L. However, it is also available on

CPAN.

The following can be used only by the module maintainer on CPAN. To update the

CPAN module, remember to increment the version number and then run the following

commands:

    perl Makefile.PL

    make distcheck

    # Optionally, to add files not in the manifest:

    # make manifest

    make dist

Finally, upload the F.tar.gz> file that has been created

through L, ideally putting it under an

F directory.
