Feature Request: Allow regex as a lib argument in find_lib function

[bakkiaraj]

As of now, FFI::CheckLib provides find_lib function with 'lib' argument takes a 'string.

$libPath = find_lib(lib=>'gio-2.0',libpath=>'/usr/lib64');

Consider, If I write a module based on FFI::CheckLib and the module will run on may machines, The lib version on the target machine may vary. So please allow regex as a argument to lib, So I can preciously set my lib requirements (Ex: what version etc..)

Ex:
$libPath = find_lib(lib=>'gio-2./d+',libpath=>'/usr/lib64');

I think what you want is this:

find_lib( lib => '*', verify => sub { $_[0] =~ /^gio-2\.[0-9]+/ } )
