Although I agree that using Perl instead of calling find is probably better, I'm not sure if File::Find::Rule directly supports the operation you are looking for; you might have to build something that lists those paths yourself, but Path::Class or most likely Path::Tiny (see its children method) would probably be very helpful there.

Or, maybe in this case glob can help? (make sure to read its documentation, including File::Glob)

use File::Find::Rule;
my @searchLocations = (
  glob("/vol/archive[0-9][0-9]/prod/*/$collectArchive/*"),
  glob("/vol/archive[0-9][0-9]/prod/system/archive/$collectArchive/*")
);
my @files = File::Find::Rule->file->in(@searchLocations);

By the way, as a side note, in your example regexes, .+ is probably better written as [^\/]+, because otherwise it may match any number of slashes as well.
