First of all, you should be careful when using File::Find mixing $File::Find::name with starting out from a relative path for the root directory: File::Find chdirs to the directory the file is in, for the callback, so the proper relative path there is in $_, not in $file::Find::name. Of course, it's a whole other ballgame when you start out from absolute paths.

Anyway: use rel2abs as a class method from File::Spec, or as a function from File::Spec::Functions. Try: either of these: 

use File::Find;
use File::Spec::Functions qw(rel2abs);

$\ = "\n";
find \&print_name, ".";

sub print_name{
    print rel2abs($_) 
      unless $_ eq "." or $_ eq "..";
}

or 
use File::Find;
use File::Spec::Functions qw(rel2abs);

$\ = "\n";
find \&print_name, rel2abs(".");  
# or, just for ".": 
# use Cwd;
# find \&print_name, cwd;  

sub print_name{
    print $File::Find::name
      unless $_ eq "." or $_ eq "..";
}

There's a chance the formatting of the full path is still is not exactly the same as you expect from Windows: there could be a mixture of slashes or backslashes, or the case may not the same as the case for the real physical file/directory names. To fix both these issues, you can use GetLongPathName from Win32, which is a standard library on ActivePerl/Windows.
