File::Find will recourse through each and every directory/file you have on the machine, and apply the code whenever it meets the conditions you set. What you set is "work on every file that ends with '.doc'.

As Perl's DWIM mechanism isn't telepathic (not yet, that is), you need to specify more. Either put more direction in the code, such as what file to work on (file name, contents to look for), or a more explicit path.
You can say return unless at the start of your sub to make it only work on the exact file.

Software speaks in tongues of man.
Stop saying 'script'. Stop saying 'line-noise'.
We have nothing to lose but our metaphors.
