File::Find::Rule is a wrapper around File::Find. Why not just use File::Find::find directly? E.g. (incomplete and untested):
use File::Find qw(find);

my @files;
my $result = eval {
  find(sub {
    return unless -d;

    push @files, $File::Find::name;
    die "FILE_FIND_DONE\n" if $all_done
  }, $dir);
  1;
};

unless ($result) {
  die $@ if $@ !~ /^FILE_FIND_DONE/;
}

Or use File::Next or File::Find::Object which are iterators that you can stop whenever you like.
