You are fighting the module. And you are doing a lot of unneccessary work. Consider 
use File::Find;

my @found;
my $path   = 'd:\env\videos';
my $target = '2012.avi';

find ( sub 
{ 
    # We're only interested in directories
    return 
        unless -d $_;
    
    # Bail if there is an .ignore here
    return 
        if -e "$_/.ignore";
    
    # Add to the results if the target is found here
    push @found, $File::Find::name
        if -e "$_/$target";

}, $path);

print "@found";
