Dear Monks, I'm seeking your wisdom. I'm facing with two issues. 1.- I'm passing a variable from a sub routine call main () to another one. The variable is call $all_directories. This variable has a list of paths that I will use to search .htm files for example: 
c:\inetpub\test1
c:\inetpub\test2
c:\inetpub\test3

Every path is different than the other, so I'm trying to pass it one by one to search for .htm files in each different directory. I get an error "useless use of private variable in void at test.pl line 37 Global symbol "$all_directories" requires explicit package name" My second issue is how do I rename files that are being copy to another directory dynamically without open and closing the directory that are being copy to?? Please Help!!! Here is my code 
use File::Find;
use File::Copy;

my @directory = $all_directories;
my @sourcefiles;
my $srcfile;

find(\&sourcefind, @directory);

sub sourcefind {
    open(FL, $File::Find::name);
    push @sourcefiles, $_ if -f and /\.htm*/ ; 
    close(FL);
}


foreach $srcfile (@sourcefiles) {
    copy( sub {print "$_ target found\n" if -f and /\Q$srcfile\E/;},
         'C:\temp');
}
