There's also my File::Finder in the CPAN which can build the equivalent
of nearly any find(1) expression using method chaining.

In this case, it'd be:

    use File::Finder;

    File::Finder
      ->type('d')
      ->eval('-f "SENTINEL-1" and -f "SENTINEL-2"')
      ->print
      ->in(@ARGV);

Or instead of printing them, you can gather them as an array:

    use File::Finder;

    my @list = File::Finder
      ->type('d')
      ->eval('-f "SENTINEL-1" and -f "SENTINEL-2"')
      ->in(@ARGV);

File::Finder was fun to write.  And I essentially used a FORTH-like
"builds...does" strategy for the method chaining.  And the expression
evaluator supports and/or/not/parens. So for something in find(1) like:

  -condition -and -not \( -this -or -that \)

you could write it as:

  condition->and->not->left->this->or->that->right


print "Just another Perl hacker,"; # the original
