Sorry, I'm obviously not making myself clear here.
I don't want to use a Global variable.

I have a program in the form: 
use strict;
use File::Find;
sub main;
my @dirlist;

main();
exit;


sub main {
    findit();
    dostuff($_) for @dirlist;
}

sub findit {
    find(\&wanted, shift(@ARGV));
}

sub wanted {
    return unless -d $_;
    push(@dirlist,$File::Find::name);
}

sub dostuff {
    print "$_\n"
}

and I want to do it without the global my @dirlist at the top.

I have dumped about 800 odd lines of someone's code & 60 odd subs from this example so massive rewrites aren't the order of the day but I do need to take out all these bloody global vars because they are making my life a real headache.
I'm not sure I understand why I can't just return the array from &wanted or at the very least declare it in findit and have wanted inherit it but <shrugs>.
