Those are typeglobs, and are being used to make aliases to variables embedded within the File::Find module. For example, $name will be an alias to $File::Find::name. That way, the package global, $name, which presumably resides in package main (otherwise known as $main::name) will be the same variable as $File::Find::name; a package global in the File::Find module.
