It seems to me, that if you want to use a closure for such a thing, you'll want to use an anonymous sub instead of your FileName sub. Then the @files array will be shared as you expect it to be (e.g., each time Get_Saves is called, $sub will be bound to the new instance of @files).

sub Get_Saves {
  my @files;

  my $sub = sub {
    unless (($_ eq "." )or ($_ eq "temp.svd")){
      push @files, $_;
    }
  };

  find ($sub,"/usr/local/apache/htdocs/service/");
  return  \@files, $#files+1;
}

As to how to make two separate subs, derby seems to have already answered that. You'd "need to use either global @files or a lexical @files defined outside of Get_Saves and FileName".

Hope this helps
