OK, an additional question from another perl n00b. My search basically turned up this thread. So...

Anyhow, how do you get what File::Find *finds* into a list (array) for further processing?

The following code snippet only prints the list of files to STDOUT, but doesn't dump them into @stuff. What am I doing wrong?


Code: 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict; use warnings;
use File::Find;
use MP3::Mplib;
                                                                      
+                                                       
print "Enter the full path of your MP3 directory:\n";
my $mp3_dir = <STDIN>;
chomp($mp3_dir);
                                                                      
+                                                       
my @stuff = find(\&wanted, $mp3_dir);
                                                                      
+                                                       
foreach my $item ( @stuff ) {
        my $mp3 = MP3::Mplib->new($item);
        my $v1tag = $mp3->get_v1tag;
        my $v2tag = $mp3->get_v2tag;
                                                                      
+                                                       
        while (my ($key, $val) = each %$v1tag) {
                print "$key\: $val\n";
        }
        while (my ($key, $val) = each %$v2tag) {
                print "$key\: $val\n";
        }
}
                                                                      
+                                                       
sub wanted {
         print "$File::Find::name\n" if -f && ! -d && m/\.mp3$/i;
}
