Strange, I get :
Hold on, the above is on OSX with BSD find.
On Linux it does not work (just tested it)...
OK ON Linux it is GNU find an there the default regex type is emacs
EDIT: this seems to work on Linux:
Apparently the default "emacs" does not support the brace repetition operator, so it will probably be modeled after an old version of emacs..
So the -regextype option is required to change from the default regex type..
I personally never use regex with find, since it is not standardized..

EDIT: With the emacs default of GNU find this works:
But that does not work with BSD find (unless the -E extended regex option is specified)..

File::Find::Rule::Procedural(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation File::Find::Rule::Procedural(3)NAME
File::Find::Rule::Procedural - File::Find::Rule's procedural interface
SYNOPSIS
use File::Find::Rule;
# find all .pm files, procedurally
my @files = find(file => name => '*.pm', in => @INC);
DESCRIPTION
In addition to the regular object-oriented interface, File::Find::Rule provides two subroutines for you to use.
"find( @clauses )"
"rule( @clauses )"
"find" and "rule" can be used to invoke any methods available to the OO version. "rule" is a synonym for "find"
Passing more than one value to a clause is done with an anonymous array:
my $finder = find( name => [ '*.mp3', '*.ogg' ] );
"find" and "rule" both return a File::Find::Rule instance, unless one of the arguments is "in", in which case it returns a list of things
that match the rule.
my @files = find( name => [ '*.mp3', '*.ogg' ], in => $ENV{HOME} );
Please note that "in" will be the last clause evaluated, and so this code will search for mp3s regardless of size.
my @files = find( name => '*.mp3', in => $ENV{HOME}, size => '<2k' );
^
|
Clause processing stopped here ------/
It is also possible to invert a single rule by prefixing it with "!" like so:
# large files that aren't videos
my @files = find( file =>
'!name' => [ '*.avi', '*.mov' ],
size => '>20M',
in => $ENV{HOME} );
