It would really help if you had of showed us your code (please edit your question with the code, putting it within <code></code> tags), but regardless, using the no_chdir parameter to File::Find often helps work around these issues:

use warnings;
use strict;

use File::Find;

my $dir = '.';

find ({ wanted => \&wanted, no_chdir => 1 }, $dir);

sub wanted {
    print "$File::Find::name\n" if -f;
}

Note that when using the no_chdir param (or any other params for that matter), all params less the directory to search must be passed in within a hash reference per above. Also note that when you're using no_chdir, you won't get the full file path by default, so as I've illustrated in the above code, simply use $File::Find::name to get the filename as "/full/path/to/file.ext".
