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!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
