It looks like you want something like this (UNTESTED):

#
use File::Find;
#

open LIST_FH, '>>', '/Volumes/Expansion Drive/stuffTGZ/list_xxx_dirs.t
+xt' or die "Cannot open '/Volumes/Expansion Drive/stuffTGZ/list_xxx_d
+irs.txt' because: $!";

find( sub {
    return unless /\.xxx$/;
    print "$File::Find::name\n";
    print LIST_FH "-------------------------------------------------";
    print LIST_FH "- $File::Find::name -----------------------------";
    open LS_PIPE, '-|', '/bin/ls' ,'-l', $File::Find::name or die "Can
+not open pipe from '/bin/ls' because: $!";
    print LIST_FH <LS_PIPE>;
    close LS_PIPE or warn $! ? "Error closing '/bin/ls' pipe: $!"
                             : "Exit status $? from '/bin/ls'";
    }, '.' );
