If you're not married to File::Find...

use Config;
print $Config{prefix},$/;

assuming that by 'Perl' you mean the directory where your perl was installed. If you mean the binary, use the perlpath key instead. pod

Updated:
You cannot rely upon ^X, because you are assuming certain builds of perl when you do so. CygWin acts as Unix:

$ uname
CYGWIN_NT-5.0
$ perl -e 'print $^X,$/;'
perl
$ /usr/bin/perl -e 'print $^X,$/;'
/usr/bin/perl

(Thanks to tye and bart for clarifying which perls show this behaviour.)

Remember, when you stare long into the abyss, you could have been home eating ice cream.
