I tried this--from your original file, not your most recent attempt--and
couldn't get it to work. If you look below, "mothera" never gets excluded,
except the last test (Exclude4), which is the control case (single regex,
no any junction):
my @exclude1 = ( rx/<|w>mothera$/, rx/<|w>camel$/ );
my @files1 = find( dir => $loc, type => 'file', exclude => @exclude1>>.any
);
say "Exclude1: ", @files1;
#Exclude1: ["/Users/me/test_folder/.DS_Store".IO
"/Users/me/test_folder/godzilla".IO "/Users/me/test_folder/mothera".IO
"/Users/me/test_folder/rhodan".IO]
#
my $exclude2 = ( rx/<|w>mothera$/, rx/<|w>camel$/ );
my @files2 = find( dir => $loc, type => 'file', exclude => any($exclude2) );
say "Exclude2: ", @files2;
#Exclude2: [any(("/Users/me/test_folder/.DS_Store".IO
"/Users/me/test_folder/godzilla".IO "/Users/me/test_folder/mothera".IO
"/Users/me/test_folder/rhodan".IO))]
#
my $exclude3 = ( rx/<|w>mothera$/, rx/<|w>camel$/ );
my @files3 = find( dir => $loc, type => 'file', exclude => $exclude3>>.any
);
say "Exclude3: ", @files3;
#Exclude3: ["/Users/me/test_folder/.DS_Store".IO
"/Users/me/test_folder/godzilla".IO "/Users/me/test_folder/mothera".IO
"/Users/me/test_folder/rhodan".IO]
#
my $exclude4 = ( rx/mothera/ );
my @files4 = find( dir => $loc, type => 'file', exclude => $exclude4 );
say "Exclude4: ", @files4;
#Exclude4: ["/Users/me/test_folder/.DS_Store".IO
"/Users/me/test_folder/godzilla".IO "/Users/me/test_folder/rhodan".IO]
HTH, Bill.
