I have almost forgotten why (sorry I am getting old :-) ) in fact I used the anonyme subroutine in the working script already.
The problem: I use File::Find in a script to backup my files to the floppy disk. I have a hash with keys as the source directories and values as the target directories.
So I use:
for my $source ( keys %dir )
{
my $destination = $dir{$source};
find( sub
{
my $relativeName = $File::Find::name;
$relativeName =~ s/$source//;
my $sourceName = File::Spec->catdir( $source, $relativeName );
my $destinationName = File::Spec->catdir( $destination,
$relativeName );
(...compare and backup if new or newer ...)
}
That's why I found no other way as to feed both $source and $destination to &find and that's why I do it in a loop. Well, another option would be to call &find anew for each location in a script:
my $source = "N:/TEMP";
my $destination = $dir{$source};
find ( \&wanted, $source );
my $source = "N:/TEMP_2";
etc.
Is there another way to do it?
Thanks again! |
