And how fast is the equivalent find command? Do something like: 
    $ time find dir1 dir2 dir3 -name '*.sgml' > /dev/null

If that also takes hours, the problem isn't at your Perl program.

    If the requester isn't on Unix, would wrapping the appropriate system("") call with some code to store the start and finish time be useful?

    Maybe the Benchmark module?

    I don't know, just wanted to see if such a strategy might be worthwhile.
