in thread use file::find to find files modified in last 5 days

As brother thargas has explained, you need to look at the documentation. Type perldoc File::Find and you'll be presented with an example in the Synopsis section that should answer your question:

use File::Find; find(\&wanted, @directories_to_search); sub wanted { ... }
You pass File::Find::find two parameters: a reference to a function that will be called when a matching file is found, and a list of directories to be searched. And it should Just Work(tm).
