The simple answer is that you cannot store a coderef with arguments. What would that mean if you could? 

sub test{ print @_; }

## THIS DOESN'T WORK, BUT IF IT DID...
my $coderef = \&test( 'this is the argument' );

$coderef->(); # would print 'this is the argument' );

$coderef->( 'a different argument' ); 
# Would print 'this is the argument'!!

If you really want the sub to always have the same argument(s), then they aren't argument(s)--they are constant(s) :) -- so code the sub that way. 

sub test{ print 'this is the argument'; }

my $coderef = \&test;

$coderef->(); # prints 'this is the argument' );

$coderef->( 'a different argument' ); 
# Prints 'this is the argument'!!

Problem solved:)

However, if you want to pass different arguments when you invoke the coderef, do so. 

my $coderef = sub{ print @_; };
$coderef->( 'Some', 'args' );
# Prints 'someargs'
