Re^2: how to assign output of Find() into a variable $

Why so complicated? (a sub in a sub)

use strict;
use warnings;

use File::Find;

my @result;
find (sub {
    m/\.pl$/ and push @result, $File::Find::name;
    }, "aaa");

Because I hate javaScript nested functions! Actually, for a trivial sub the inline sub is fine. For something that does a little more work the inline call to the callback sub allows parameters to be passed and much more maintainable code.
