The usual thing to do when you have a recursive routine that needs an IUO parameter, is to use a 'helper' wrapper that supplies it.

Here's a cleaned up and simplified version that does that:

#! perl -slw
#! perl -slw
use strict;
use List::Util qw[ shuffle ];
use Data::Dump qw[ pp ];

my %graph = map {
  ( chr( 64 + $_ ) => [ (shuffle 'A'...'Z')[ 0 .. 1+ int( rand 10 )] ]
+ )
} 1, (shuffle 2 .. 25)[ 0.. int( rand 20 )], 26;

pp \%graph;

sub _findPaths {
    my( $graph, $start, $end, $seen ) = @_;

    return [$end] if $start eq $end;

    $seen->{ $start } = 1;
    map {
        map [ $start, @$_ ], _findPaths( $graph, $_, $end, {%$seen} );
    }  grep !$seen->{ $_ }, @{ $graph->{ $start } };
}

sub findPaths { _findPaths( @_, {} ); }

my( $start, $end ) = @ARGV;

print "@$_" for findPaths( \%graph, $start, $end );

__END__

Be warned. The random tree generator can generate some pretty big results sets.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
