Re: File::Find incompatible with OO perl?

Just wrap your method call in a sub:

find(sub {$obj->found}, $directory);

This is almost good equivalent to my wanted subroutine. However, I'm still losing the contents of $_; I guess i just have to use  find(sub{$obj->found($_)},$directory); Thanks!

Are you sure you mean $_ and not (after first shift) $_[0]? wanted doesn't get any parameters, so what you have above is only correct if your found() expects the filename via a parameter, not $_.

This works for me:

$ perl -MFile::Find -we'$obj=bless []; sub found { print "looking at $
+_\n" }
> find(sub {$obj->found}, "pbed/fooble")'
looking at .
looking at a
looking at b
looking at c

wanted(), being the non-OO answer, is supposed to recieve a file name via $_. Check the perldoc, it backs me up. Not that I'm saying its the best way that this should have been done, but find is supposed to produce 3 elements for your called subroutine:

• $File::Find::name => Path + Filename.
• $File::Find::dir => Path
• $_ => Filename

I'm not sure whether it clashes or agrees with your statement. Regardless, I'm getting the data as I think it works, like this:

Calling:

find(sub{$obj->found($_)},"dir");

Called:

sub found
{
   my $self=shift;
   my ($full_name, $file_dir,$file_name) = ($File::Find::name,$File::F
+ind::dir,@_);
}

Thanks again!!
