Greetings, 

I posted this question on perlmonks and received some great help, specifically 
from mirod but his recent suggestion is still not working.


Problem: This code only works when I hard-code the size to
search for in the routine. I try to pass arguments using @_, but it
does not work. How do I pass $size_input so wanted sees and uses it?


Mirod's help: 

You need to pass an additional parameter to wanted. The way to do this is to 
use a closure: File::Find::find({wanted => sub { wanted( $size_input); } }, 
$fs_input ) ;. This way wanted is called by the anonymous sub, and gets passed 
$size_input.
See Why I hate File::Find and how I (hope I) fixed it for more info.



I read the "why i hate...." two and three times and yet still cannot get it to 
work.
thank you in advance!

    File::Find::find( $wanted, $fs_input ) ;

    for my $key ( sort keys %mounts ) {
        if ( $fs_input eq $key ) {
            @mounts =
                grep {$fs_input} @{ $mounts{$key} } ; ###-- HoA --###
        }
    }

    if ( scalar @mounts > 0 ) {
        die "cant search...foobarbazzzzy $!" ;
    }
    else {
        my ( $size_input ) = shift @_ ;
        print $size_input,"\n";
        my ($dev,$ino,$mode,$nlink,$uid,$gid) ;
        (( $dev,$ino,$mode,$nlink,$uid,$gid ) = lstat($_) ) &&
         ( $dev >= 0 ) &&
         !( $File::Find::prune |= ($dev != $File::Find::topdev ) ) &&
         ( int(((-s _) + 1023) / 1024 ) > $size_input ) &&
         push ((@large_files), $name ) ;
    }
}

sub make_wanted {

    my $wanted = shift ;    # get the "real" wanted function
    my @args   = @_    ;    # "freeze" the arguments
    my $sub = sub { $wanted->( @args ); } ;  # generate the anon sub
    return $sub ;           # return it
}


print "\n",scalar @large_files,"\n";
exit;
<snip>

$size_input is being printed correctly/accurately, but nothing in the array.
