G'day Brian,

Welcome to the monastery.

I also have Mac OS X Lion (10.7.5); I'm running Perl v5.14.2.

File::Find and $File::Find::name work for me: 

$ ls -l abc?
-rw-r--r--  1 ken  staff  0  4 Oct 03:13 abc?

$ perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings -E '
use File::Find;
sub wanted { /\?$/ && say $File::Find::name }
find(\&wanted, q{.});
'
./abc?

Filename completion also works. If I type ls -l abc<TAB><RETURN>, I get: 

$ ls -l abc\? 
-rw-r--r--  1 ken  staff  0  4 Oct 03:42 abc?

Please post enough of file_collector.pl to reproduce your problem.
