When I tried it in my home directory as a test, it did exactly what I expected but when I changed '.' to '/' it started generating every file on the system (directories, text files, etc.) without the date.
That seems strange; I don't have Cygwin but I can't reproduce the issue on Linux, so it could maybe have something to do with the interaction of Cygwin and File::Find::Rule. Is the code you showed here exactly what you're running? Unless another Monk with Cygwin can reproduce the issue and find out what's wrong, you may need to look into it yourself. As a start, perhaps reduce your code even further, since it doesn't sound like it has to do with Image::ExifTool. The following seems to work fine on my system:
use warnings;
use strict;
use File::Find::Rule;
my $rule = File::Find::Rule->file->name(qr/\.jpe?g$/i)->start('/');
while ( defined( my $file = $rule->match ) ) {
print "$file\n";
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
