This leads to warnings noise so instead we now track $topdir ourselves. =item 0.23 Friday 3rd October, 2003 make the extras hash work and add a proper test for it. (Doh!) =item 0.22 Friday 3rd October, 2003 add in ->extras hash for passing things through to File::Find::find =back =head1 AUTHOR Richard Clamp with input gained from this use.perl discussion: http://use.perl.org/~richardc/journal/6467 Additional proofreading and input provided by Kake, Greg McCarroll, and Andy Lester andy@petdance.com. =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright (C) 2002,2003 Richard Clamp.
