I've taken a tip from File::Find and am doing this: scan_mb(\&wanted, $quiz_mb); # $quiz_mb contains a pathname to a directory
(Note this is a small task similar to the newest qotw from MJD) I am reading a directory and foreach filename running my function &wanted. So, taking a tip from File::Find I am passing a reference to the wanted function to scan_mb. Now, inside sub scan_mb, how do I regain/use this passed function? For now I'm simply cheating... (i.e. since the function lives in main, I simply call it and ignore the passed reference.) :-) sub scan_mb { for ( <$_[1]/*> ) { next unless (-f $_); /^.*\/(.*)$/; wanted($_); } } Or, since both functions are in the same scope(?), perhaps passing a reference is pointless (other than as a good learning exercise)? -K (Happy "Maennertag" to those in Germany) -- Kevin Pfeiffer International University Bremen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
