Hello Monks, I'm attempting to use File::Find to generate formatted output of a directory structure, and it appears that scoping issues are killing me. I'm unclear on what to do with this. What I'm doing is something like this (rather snipped up to limit this to the relevent parts): 
sub a_moduser {
        our $user = shift;
        our $html;
[...]
        $html  = '<form action="' . $$config{selfpath} . 'method="post
+">';    
        find(\&wanted, $$config{base_dir});
[...]
}

sub wanted {
[...]
    $html .= '<td><input type="radio" name="base_dir" value="' . $_ . 
+'"></td>';
[...]
}

So, $user and $html are both apparently out of scope: 
Variable "$html" is not imported at fileman.cgi line 707.
Variable "$html" is not imported at fileman.cgi line 708.
Global symbol "$html" requires explicit package name at fileman.cgi li
+ne 707.
Global symbol "$html" requires explicit package name at fileman.cgi li
+ne 708.

I tried sticking the variables and the find call in a BEGIN block, which shut the error messages up, but caused all sorts of grief with calling other subroutines. I'm a little lost in terms of what to do from here. Any kindly monks with suggestions? Thanks much.
