.PP
Build an iterator which finds distroprefs files in the tree below the
given directory. Within the tree directories matching \f(CW\*(C`m/^[._]/\*(C'\fR are
pruned.
.PP
\&\f(CW%ext_map\fR is a hashref whose keys are file extensions and whose values are
modules used to load matching files:
.PP
.Vb 5
\&    {

\&        \*(Aqdd\*(Aq  => \*(AqData::Dumper\*(Aq,
\&        ...
\&    }
.Ve
.PP
Each time \f(CW\*(C`$finder\->next\*(C'\fR is called, the iterator returns one of two
possible values:
.IP "\(bu" 4
a CPAN::Distroprefs::Result object
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR, indicating that no prefs files remain to be found
.SH "RESULTS"
.IX Header "RESULTS"
\&\f(CW\*(C`find()\*(C'\fR returns CPAN::Distroprefs::Result objects to
indicate success or failure when reading a prefs file.

.PP
the file from which these prefs were read, or to which this error refers (relative filename)
.PP
\fIext\fR

the file's extension, which determines how to load it
.PP

.IX Subsection "msg"
.PP
the error message (usually either \f(CW$!\fR or a \s-1YAML\s0 error)
.SS "Successes"

Success results contain:
.PP
\fIprefs\fR
.IX Subsection "prefs"
.PP
an arrayref of CPAN::Distroprefs::Pref objects
.SH "PREFS"
