I don't think you want this combination. $File::Find::name is the path including any parent directories, but you're already chdir'ed into the directory containing the file. Inside wanted, you want to use $_. After the execution is complete, you'll want $File::Find::name.

More specifically, when you're thinking about "a/b/c.txt", you're already in the directory "a/b", so trying to open "a/b/c.txt" is wrong now. You want just c.txt, which is in $_. Review the thread beginning in "using file::find::name and file tests". (update: oh, that was you. apparently you didn't learn anything from the other posts!)
