In situations like these, I've been arguing for goto LABEL:
find( sub { ...; --$fnlinks or goto DONE; }, $dir );
DONE: ...
It has twothree advantages over the eval/die pair:
it makes your intention more clear;
it is better prepared for future versions of File::Find, that just might treat die-ing callbacks differently (that the eval/die pair works does not follow from the documentation); and
as Fletch++ notes, eval/die is prone to hiding errors as other code dies. goto LABEL has no corresponding weakness.
The last LABEL version is similar, but noisy under -w or use warnings; generating Exiting subroutine via last warnings.
Besides, goto LABEL is more readable still.

The Sidhekin proves Sidhe did it!

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).
