Greetings Laurent_R,
The "find" in this case, has nothing to do with finding something within a file. But rather, is an attempt to find files themselves. :)
It is a search, that attempts to find all files within a certain range; in this case, over a certain age. Hence, all the chatter about ctime, atime, etc...
Hope this clears things up, a bit. :)

Best wishes.

print $perl_version;

In reply to Re^4: File::Find seems grossly inefficient for performing simple file tasks by taint

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
