To prevent this, set the no_chdir flag. See `perldoc > File::Find` for details. http://perldoc.perl.org/File/Find.html
I should note that from this reason, File-Find-Object (see http://www.shlomifish.org/open-source/projects/File-Find-Object/ ) never changes directory by default (although I believe that was part of the original design before I started maintaining F-F-O), because it is counter-intuitive and dangerous.
