For your first question, what do you mean by "check only a pattern of filename"? A substring?

Hello RudiC,
In the directory I will get filename say files-20170105-09.gz. I have to check if file exists also if exists then it should have today's date minus one. So I have to search this part 20170105. Rest of the part of file , I will not be knowing. That is the reason to check it I was using wildcard *

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.
