Thanks. I found more info about the warning...

Curious, but is perldiag a program or part of the built-in help? Cuz when I type perldiag at the linux prompt it does nothing.

I googled perldiag, and found this page, that helped me understand that I need to create the sub anonymously, that way it's created at runtime, rather than at compile time...

SO, fwiw, I was able to fix my warning by assigning the nested function named inlineFind to a variable anonymously like the following: 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use File::Find;
sub SymLinkFind($);

my %params;
$params{recurseDir} = ".";
SymLinkFind(\%params);
print "Found ", $params{numoLinks}, " Symbolic Links...\n";

sub SymLinkFind($) {
  my $reparams = shift;
  my @SymLinks;

 my $subhold = sub { #<--this line changed
    my $namey = $File::Find::name;
    if (-l) {
      push @SymLinks, $namey;
    }
  };  #<--remember ; to complete variable assign
  find $subhold, $reparams->{recurseDir}; # <--use variable instead of
+ named function.
  $reparams->{Links} = \@SymLinks;
  $reparams->{numoLinks} = scalar(@SymLinks);
  return;
}

And that got rid of the warning. So is there any great impact on the performance of this, if it is compiled at runtime? I didn't see any in running my simple example.

Thanks,
