Update, I managed to get the IP address subnet range searching to work. However, to implement it into your code, I am unsure why when i put ->name('*.bz2') it doesn't work.. This is my code currently: 
use strict;
use warnings;

use IO::Uncompress::Bunzip2 ();
use Net::Subnet;
my $filename = "debug.log.bz2";
my $fh = IO::Uncompress::Bunzip2->new($filename)
    or die "bunzip2 $filename: $IO::Uncompress::Bunzip2::Bunzip2Error"
+;

my $matcher = subnet_matcher qw(72.46.130.0/24);    

while (<$fh>){
    my @ips = m/(?:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.){3}(?:25
    +[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)/g;
    next unless @ips;
    next unless grep { $matcher->($_) } @ips;
    print;
}

And this is your code that I am unsure of how to search for all .bz2 files: 
sub get_files {
    my (@dirs) = @_;

    my $level = shift // 3; # level to dig into
    my @files = File::Find::Rule->file()
    ->name('*.bz2') #this line doesn't work
    ->maxdepth($level)
    ->in(@dirs);

    return @files;
}
