in reply to Passing arguments to File::Find

I'm not too clear on what you mean...

If something takes a code ref as an argument, you can always pass more arguments in to the code ref by making a closure.

use strict;
use File::Find;

# make a closure that invokes &$arg2 on any filename that
# ends in $arg1
sub makeExtClosure
{
    my ($ext, $action) = @_;
    return sub {
       /$ext$/ && &$action;
    };
} 

find(makeExtClosure("pod", sub{print "$_\n"}), ".");

Is that what you had in mind?
