Wrong. $callback is a reference to an anonymous sub that is CREATED by
'create_find_callback_that_sums_the_size'.

perldoc -q closure


File::Find::find traverses the directory tree starting at 'bin' and for each
entry it calls the subroutine supplied by you and puts the name of that entry
in the $_ variable.

Thanks for the replies, it is very helpful. One more question, is the
subroutine called for as many elements that there are in the bin
directory, or is the subroutine being invoked only once and the
contents of bin are being copied into the subroutine to be worked on

Thanks

No.
