File::Find module help

[James Kelty]

Hello.

I am using the File::Find module from Cpan to travers some filesystems to,
well, find a file.
Here is my small snippet of code. Basically what is happening is that the
sub is returning a 0 instead of the file name. What am I doing wrong?


#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use File::Find;
use vars qw/*name *dir *prune/;
*name   = *File::Find::name;
*dir    = *File::Find::dir;
*prune  = *File::Find::prune;

print "You havn't defined an \$CONF file. Please do so: ";
    $Conf = <STDIN>;
    chomp($Conf);
    while($Conf eq "") {
        print "You havn't defined an \$CONF file. Please do so: ";
        chomp($Conf = <STDIN>);
    }

    if(not -f $Conf) {
       print "Sorry, that file does not exist, at all!\n\n\n";
       print "I am now going to traverse the file system and look for:
\"base.conf\"\n";

       my $newConf = File::Find::find({wanted => \&wanted}, '/');
       print "I found this file $newConf. Would you like to use it? [y]\n";
       chomp(my $answer = <STDIN>);
       if($answer =~ /y|Y/) {
           $Conf = $newConf;
       }
       else{
          print "Okiee, dokiee!\n";
       }


sub wanted {
    /^base\\.conf\z/s &&
    return("$name");
}

Thanks for help in advance!
