Update. Corion pointed out that $File::Find::name is nothing more than $File::Find::dir/$_..... oops. Maybe the second example will shed some light, but I don't use win32 so there may be slash issues. Sorry it's a groggy morning. :-)

Sometimes its useful to use $File::Find::dir 

#!/usr/bin/perl
#finds files older than 30 days
use warnings;
use strict;
use File::Find;

my $top = shift || ".";

find sub {return unless -f;
if (-M _ > 30){print "$File::Find::dir/$_\n"}
}, "$top";

#!/usr/bin/perl
#finds files older than 30 days
use warnings;
use strict;
use File::Find;

my $top = shift || ".";

find sub {return unless -f;
if (-M _ > 30){

                my $dirpath = File::Spec->rel2abs( '.' );
                print "$dirpath\n";
                print "$File::Find::dir/$_\n";
                print "$File::Find::name\n";
                print "$dirpath\/$_\n\n";
 }
}, "$top";
