That's because no_chdir has absolutely nothing to do with this issue.
no_chdir simply means that File::Find doesn't change the current
working directory as it recurses.

You want $File::Find::prune.  Set it to 1 in your &wanted function any
time the directory is one you don't want to recurse into.  See
File::Find's documentation for more info.

And more importantly, see John's reply - if you don't want to recurse,
you shouldn't be using File::Find to begin with.  Just get a directory
listing.
