Depending on how many patterns you need to locate, and how long it takes for unix 'find' to traverse the given directory tree, you might want to consider running 'find' just once, and use perl's grep function to pull out the desired file names:
my $file_regex = join( '|', @a );
my @found = grep /^(?:$file_regex)\./, `find . -print`;
(BTW, I think '-print' is on by default -- you probably don't need to include that in the 'find' command.)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
