I'm a perl noob
I'm trying to inventory a bunch of file with .wgt extension and store the matches (from some seeded input) in a report at the end. I need the full path that Find::File::name provides.
To that end, I'd like to be able to store the output of Find::File::name into a local variable so I can eventually do append the string to a file.
It seems that I should be able to do this: 
my $var = $Find::File::name;

but lo, it does not work.
but...I'm confused because I can send it to std out by using print so it seems to reason that it's returning a string.
print $Find::File::name;

Here is my attempted implementation of Wanted.
sub Wanted
{
   return unless (-f $_);
   # only operate on compiled widgets
    /\.wgt$/ or return;

    my $file = $_;

    chomp ($file);
    chomp ($line);
    #print $file ." \n" if $file eq $line;
    if (lc($line) eq lc($file)){
        print  $File::Find::name. "\n";
        #my $foundFile = $File::Find::name. "\n"; #this does not work 
+hence it is commented out!!
    }
    return;

}

Any takers?
Thanks in advance.
