Add a not (!) to the find command to exclude that directory.
i.e.
That will exclude the directory itself, but not the tree beneath it; find will still descend into its contents and generate output. To prevent that, a -prune is required.
Further, since -name only looks at the basename, -name cannot match an absolute pathname. There could be many instances of dir2 within /dir/path.
A POSIX-compliant invocation will need to use -exec to call test/[ to check the full pathname (via {}). However, a few finds support a -path which can do the job more efficiently.
I am trying to use the find command to find files in the current directory that meet a certain date criteria.
find . -type -f -mtime +2
However, the above also checks the directories below.
I tried -prune, but that seems to ignore this directory completely.

dist::metadata::dir
Dist::Metadata::Dir(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Dist::Metadata::Dir(3pm)NAME
Dist::Metadata::Dir - Enable Dist::Metadata for a directory
VERSION
version 0.923
SYNOPSIS
my $dm = Dist::Metadata->new(dir => $path_to_dir);
DESCRIPTION
This is a subclass of Dist::Metadata::Dist to enable getting the dists metadata from a directory.
This can be useful if you already have a dist extracted into a directory.
It's probably not very useful on it's own though, and should be used from "new" in Dist::Metadata.
METHODS
new
$dist = Dist::Metadata::Struct->new(dir => $path);
Accepts a single 'dir' argument that should be a path to a directory.
determine_name_and_version
Attempts to parse name and version from directory name.
dir
Returns the "dir" attribute specified in the constructor.
file_content
Returns the content for the specified file.
find_files
Returns a list of the file names beneath the directory (relative to the directory).
physical_directory
Returns the "dir" attribute since this is already a directory containing the desired files.
