Re^4: while following perl hack book

I understand now about the anonymous subroutine. I went over both anonymous sub and also the cpan's doc on this at http://search.cpan.org/~rgarcia/perl-5.10.0/lib/File/Find.pm
However, I still do not understand ..

Doc says that find(\&wanted, @directories);, find function will do a depth search in @directories and for each file/dir found, it will call a anonymous sub wanted
couple questions
1)why is there a curly brace for find at below? find{}, instead of bracket??
All the example I been looking at has find()
2)why are they omitting the second parameter ? list of directories?
Or shouldn't the whole thing be written as

find(
    sub {
          ##code here;
        },
        @INC,
);

instead of how it's written in the book?

find{ wanted => sub { ##### code ;}, no_chdir => 1,}, $incl_dir;

Look at the synopsis in File::Find again. Passing a hashref instead of a coderef (i.e. `{ wanted => ..., }`) allows (but doesn't require) you to specify other options, like no_chdir or follow. -- Online Fortune Cookie Search	[reply] [d/l]

The hack author just omitted the parens. When `find` is predeclared (or imported in this case), these two lines are identical: `find sub { ... }, $dir_name ; find( sub { ... }, $dir_name );` [download] I thought that as well, but when I tried to refactor to the more efficient form (passing all directories at once), I noticed that the code in the &wanted sub needs to know the "root" directory name: `$file =~ s{^\Q$incl_dir/\E}{ };`. Passing all the dirs at once removes the ability to see `$incl_dir`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

thank you guys as always These closure, anonymous sub and callback are little bit over my head, so I must do more reading and coding on the subject I will comment more on this as I learn more	[reply]
