Pass an "extra' variable to Find::File subroutine Please Monks help me on this one, As described in the title, I use the Find::File module. And recursively going through directories works fine, but... I don't know how to pass an extra variable calling the subroutine. This works:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use Find::File

my $source = “/mnt/usbdisk”;

sub Recursive
{
    my ($diskpathfile = ($File::Find::name));
    print $diskpathfile, “\n”;
}
find (\&Recursive, $source);
[download]

But this doesn't work:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use Find::File

my $source = “/mnt/usbdisk”;

sub Recursive
{
    my ($msg) = @_;
    print $msg, “\n”;
    my ($diskpathfile = ($File::Find::name));
    print $diskpathfile;
}
find (\&Recursive(“hello”), $source);
[download]

And the trouble is, it may be simple, but I cant find a answer in the Find::File documentation itself. Can anybody give me a clue?
