I think File::Find (which I figure is being used by the OP) doesn't actually pass the "wanted" callback function any arguments, so assigning my ($spls) = @_; wouldn't achieve the desired effect.  It should work just fine without the assigment, however...  A stripped-down runnable example: 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use File::Find;

my $seek_path = "/usr/bin";
my @spt1      = qw(perl py);

foreach my $spls (@spt1) {
    find(
         sub {
             print "^$spls : $_\n" if /^$spls/;
         },
         $seek_path
    );
}
