in thread Fastest way to recurse through VERY LARGE directory tree

Read the OP. I didn't say FFR has to return the entire list, the OP says the entire list needs to be processed. So, in this case, FFR would return the entire list of files.

    Ah, gotcha. But you can work around building the entire list: 
    use warnings;
use strict;
use File::Find::Rule;

File::Find::Rule->file->exec(
    sub {
        print $_[2], "\n";
        return 0;
    }
)->in('/path');
