The following program seems to run well with a test directory structure. However when running on a massive directory structure it is worringly slow. Will the program work for big directory structures? 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use warnings;


use File::Find::Rule;
  # find all the subdirectories of a given directory

my $directory = "G:/X/";
my $directory_label = "G:/X";

print "Start\n\n";
print "The following directories have files in with names of more than
+ 250 characters:\n\n";


my @subdirs = File::Find::Rule->directory->in( $directory_label );


foreach (@subdirs){

print "#";
  my $directory_current = $_;
  my $rule =  File::Find::Rule->new;
    
  $rule->file;
  $rule->name( '*.*' );
  $rule->name( qr/^.{250,1000}$/); 

  my @files = $rule->in( @subdirs );

  foreach(@files){
    print $_;
  }
}
