i could list 10 other ways to do it too, but i chose the easiest ones.  i'd rather
not explain a lot of unrelated things in the answer.  the File::Find::Rule
example points out that you have to look for things ending in .pm in @INC.
the File::Find rule is much more confusing because it's a confusing module
full of black magic.  

i can certainly mention File::Find though :)
