find_files(glob, check_load_path=true) Class Public methods Returns a list of paths matching glob that can be used by a gem to pick up features from other gems. For example: Gem.find_files('rdoc/discover').each do |path| load path end if check_load_path is true (the default), then ::find_files also searches $LOAD_PATH for files as well as gems. Note that ::find_files will return all files even if they are from different versions of the same gem.

World-writable directories will never be created.
