File::Find is one of the oldest modules, and shows its heritage.  You  
may not like the interface, but it's too late to change it now.

If you'd like a file finder with a more modern interface, may I  
suggest File::Next?

kurila is sort of a fork of perl, and so any modules listed in there  
will be shown as "unauthorized" on search.cpan.org.
