Does File::find::name require the file paths returned to be added to an array if file tests are to be used?

I am asking because this code will not work as i want. The file tests always return false. 

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w #  print warnings
use strict;
use File::Find;

my $Start_dir = shift;

die ">$Start_dir< is not a directory\n" if !-d $Start_dir;

find( \&process, $Start_dir );

sub process {
      return if -f $File::Find::name; # This is success - the file exi
+st
      return if -e  $File::Find::name;
      print ">$File::Find::name  < is not a file or was not found\n";
}

This code works as I expected 

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use File::Find;

my $Start_dir = shift;
my @found =();

die ">$Start_dir< is not a directory\n" if ! -d $Start_dir;

find(\&process, $Start_dir);

sub process {
push(@found, $File::Find::name) 

}

foreach (@found){
if  (-d $_ ) { print  "This is success - the directory  $_ exist\n"};
if ( -f $_) {   print  "This is success - the file   $_  exist\n"};

}
