Here's another example to reinforce Aristotle's point - that you are responsible for capturing the information from matched files.   File::Find is providing the file-system traversal processing, not the processing you must add (into your wanted() ). 
use File::Find ();
# and my wanted() routine to stuff names into this list
my  @things_I_like;

File::Find::find( {wanted => \&wanted}, '..' );

sub wanted {
#   print "  We're looking at '$File::Find::name' ...   (\$_ is '$_')\
+n";
#   push @things_I_like, $_
    push @things_I_like, $File::Find::name
        if  m/^mabman1\.pl\z/s;
#       if  m/^spam\.spam\z/s;
}

    if( @things_I_like ) {
        print "  I like @things_I_like\n";
    } else {
        print "  Nothing's going my way.\n";
    }
