Whenever your 'wanted' callback routine is called with a directory name in $_, if you set $File::Find::prune = 1 then 'find' won't look at any files in that directory or below. You'll have to calculate the current directory level yourself but, if you're on a Unix-like filing system, then in general you can just count the slash characters like this my $level = $File::Find::dir =~ tr#/##; $File::Find::prune = 1 if $level >= 3; which will process everything down to, say, /usr/bin/perl but nothing beneath it.
