my guess based on reading your code is that File::Find continues to scan the
directory tree recursively and calling wanted1() for every file. This is one of
the design quirks of the F::F interface and I suggest looking at better
alternatives on CPAN, such as
http://www.shlomifish.org/open-source/projects/File-Find-Object/ which I
maintain. See https://shlomif-tech.livejournal.com/29315.html for an article I
wrote about some other philosophical limitations of F::F that I solve (one of
them is similar to your use case).
Regards,
Shlomi
