File::Find::Object::Rule - Alternative interface to File::Find::Object

  use File::Find::Object::Rule;
  # find all the subdirectories of a given directory
  my @subdirs = File::Find::Object::Rule->directory->in( $directory );

  # find all the .pm files in @INC
  my @files = File::Find::Object::Rule->file()
                              ->name( '*.pm' )
                              ->in( @INC );

  # as above, but without method chaining
  my $rule =  File::Find::Object::Rule->new;
  $rule->file;
  $rule->name( '*.pm' );
  my @files = $rule->in( @INC );
