Okay ... incompatible might be a bit of an exaggeration, but it doesn't play nice. :)

What I want to simply do, is use an object method as the "wanted" function for File::Find. What I get is no access to the File::Find namespace vars, and the $_ is somehow borked with the object reference taking its place.

find($obj->found,$directory);
### in the object package:
sub found
{
   my $self=shift;
   my ($full_name, $file_dir, $file_name) = @_;

   print "--------------------------\n";
   print $self."\n";
   print $full_name."\n";
   print $file_dir."\n";
   print $file_name."\n";
   print $File::Find::name."\n";
   print $File::Find::dir."\n";
   print "--------------------------\n";
}

This produces undefined values for all but $self which is setup properly.

I'm hoping TMTOWTDI, but the only way i've been able to use my object function was to write a separate non-OO wrapper.

sub wanted
{
   my @file_info;
   push @file_info, $File::Find::name;
   push @file_info, $File::Find::dir;
   push @file_info, $_;

   $borg->found(@file_info);
}

So... am I doing something wrong, or is there a better way of doing it? Or is File::Find just not OO friendly?
