It's almost certainly a scoping problem, as others have said. Additionally, I'm not sure what you're trying to do in this Wanted. Even if you had proper scoping, you'd still be re-assigning the variable each time you went over it - in the end, you'd just have whatever the last value that matched the test. Here's a try at something more reasonable:
Alternately, you could keep foundfile as a scalar, and append to it thusly: $foundfile .= "$File::Find::name\n";Either way, the important thing is that your variable needs to be in a scope where it won't go away before you use it. These are pretty common errors, and Perl can catch a lot of them. If you aren't already, start putting this code at the top of every Perl program you write:
This will catch a LOT of problems before they turn into headaches. For even more detail (at some performance cost, you can use diagnostics;
for(split(" ","tsuJ rehtonA lreP rekcaH")){print reverse . " "}print "\b.\n";
