emacs with gnus and supercite. many decent text editors and mailers

that still isn't clear to me. is the @ARGV value to be scanned or
skipped? you need to be very clear when you specify this stuff.
you can just do what i said. inside the find sub add a simple test of
the file name and the @ARGV value (i don't know what kind of test you
want). then skip the push command if that passes/fails. something like
this (and i don't know the file::find vars off the top of my head so
this is hacked pseudo code with the file in $_)
my $skip_regex = shift @ARGV or die "no args were passed in"
sub my_find {
# skip a dir matching @ARGV value
return if $dir =~ /$skip_regex/ ;
# keep files with the cdump suffix
push @dump_files, $_ if /cdump$/ ;
and you still quoted my entire email below. just keep the parts you need
for context and put your comments below. you did fine at the top but
there is no need for a full copy of my email.
