find/rule is much easier to manage, see Re^2: getting picky with File::Find::Rule less typing find/rule , write something like 

use File::Find::Rule qw/ find rule /;
my $gonerDirs = rule(
 directory => name => [ 'baby', 'dead' ],
 qw/ prune discard/,
);

## use File::Find::Rule::Permissions (); ## ??? not for win32
## my $keeperFiles = rule( file => permissions => [ '???' ],... );

my $keeperFiles = rule( file => exec => \&worldWriteable ... );
my @files  = find(
    not => $gonerDirs  ,
    any => $keeperFiles ,
    in => \@startdirs,
);

Same deal 

my @files  = rule()->or(
## !IMPORTANT NOTE discard before prune with rule()/find()
    rule( name => [ 'baby','dead' ], qw/ directory discard prune /),
    rule( file => exec => \&worldWriteable,... )
)->in(
    @startdirs
);

Where you write 

sub worldWritable {
    my( $shortname, $path, $fullname ) = @_;
    ## $shortname == $_; 
    ...
    return 1 if $want;
    return 0 if not $want;
}
