But I want to pass another parameter to find_and_instantiate_commav_file
subroutine. I tried,
find({wanted => \&find_and_instantiate_commav_file("some_value"),
no_chdir => 0},
$spec_entry);
The syntax
\&function
returns a reference to a function. But the syntax
\&function(...)
returns a reference to the RETURN value of function() called with whatever
args you've given it. What you want to do is:
find({
wanted => sub { find_and_instantiate_commav_file("some_value") },
no_chdir => 0,
}, $spec_entry);
Here, we create an anonymous function (sub { ... }) and use it. This
anonymous function, when called, just calls the find_...(...) function.
