This function takes a directory, and a "folder" search parameter.
If it finds the directory (either in single level, or any sub folder) it will return the relative path of that folder. "FALSE" if not found. Skips over files and "." and ".." directories. Recursive by default.

Usage:
found('asdf',@array);

P.S. In perl 5.10 can be written as
use 5.010;
'asdf'~~@array;

This simple function utility is used to find file size in bytes

From time to time you may have reasons to override the default find method that ActiveRecord provides. In this example, we'll store a side-copy of the record attributes so that we have some basis for discovering changes to the data.

note: this will not override dynamic finders such as find_by_id

A simple search array example.
