You made things more complicated than they need to be. Try this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
sub prefix_later {
my ($just_once, $and_later) = @_;
my $ct = 0;
return sub {
$and_later->(@_) if $ct++;
$just_once->(@_);
}
}
my $hi_mom = prefix_later(
sub { print "You said: ", shift, "\n"; },
sub { print "You've already said: ", shift, "!\n"; }
);
$hi_mom->("hi mom") for 1..3;
Output:
You said: hi mom
You've already said: hi mom!
You said: hi mom
You've already said: hi mom!
You said: hi mom
Why type more than you need to? And what where you doing with my (@args) = shift();?

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).
