You can do better than just take fixed arguments:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use File::Find; sub make_wanted { my ($function, $get_argument_function) = @_; return sub { $function->($get_argument_function->()); } } sub delete_file_with_user_confirmation { my ($file_name, $user_input) = @_; if ($user_input =~ /yes/i) { unlink($file_name) or die "Error: no unlink for $file_name: $!"; } } sub get_user_input_for_file { # show full path to user print "Delete ", $File::Find::name, " (say 'yes' to delete)? "; my $user_input = <STDIN>; # but remember we chdir()ed into $File::Find::dir return $_, $user_input; } my @dirs = @ARGV ? @ARGV : ("."); find(make_wanted(\&delete_file_with_user_confirmation, \&get_user_input_for_file), @dirs);

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
