$File::Find::prune almost does what you want. It is normally used to tell File::Find to stop descending the directory tree, but it does not stop File::Find from continuing to walk the directory it is already in. To also abort the current directory, just examine $File::Find::prune in the first line of your wanted subroutine, and return if it is set. File::Find will reset $File::Find::prune when it changes to the next directory.

HTH,
Bruce Gray 

sub wanted {
    # Skip the rest of the current directory.
    return if $File::Find::prune;
    if (($fileage <= $modtime) && (-d $_)) {
       
        #check file age
        if (($fileage <= $modtime) && (-f $_)){
        #..do whatever       
        }   
   
    }
    else {
        # Do not descend further down the tree.
        $File::Find::prune = 1;
        # Skip this file.
        return;
    }
}
