Watch your operator precedences and next vs return - change c:/ to c:\\:
use strict;
use File::Find;
find (\&wanted, 'C:\\'); # not sure why / isn't working - uses CWD on drive
sub wanted {
if (-d && (/dllcache/i || /System Volume Information/i)) {
$File::Find::prune = 1;
} else {
return if -d || (! /exe$/i && ! /com$/i);
print "$File::Find::name\n";
}
}
