From http://search.cpan.org/perldoc/Path::Iterator::Rule#SYNOPSIS, you add whatever checks you need, same algorithm as File::Random, it reads the whole directory tree but only one filename at a time in memory 

sub random_file {
  my @dirs = @_;
  my $rule = Path::Iterator::Rule->new; # match anything
  $rule->file->size(">10k");         # add/chain rules
  
  # iterator interface
  my $next = $rule->iter( @dirs );
  my $random_file;
  my $i = 0;
  while ( my $file = $next->() ) {
    if( rand $i++ < 1 ){
      $random_file = $file;
    }
  }
  return $random_file;
}
