I think that michaelrozar17 is correct in that you need to quote the expression, but may I ask why "*.*" Do you specifically need files containing a full stop? if not, just a single asterix will suffice or even not specify it, then it matches every file anyway.
It might also be sensible to grow your find to:
... so that you only get files, unless you don't mind getting every directory, link, pipe etc. If you have submounted filesystems, you can exclude them by adding -xdev or -mount depending on your operating system.

file::find::rule::perl
File::Find::Rule::Perl(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation File::Find::Rule::Perl(3)NAME
File::Find::Rule::Perl - Common rules for searching for Perl things
SYNOPSIS
use File::Find::Rule ();
use File::Find::Rule::Perl ();
# Find all Perl files smaller than 10k
my @files = File::Find::Rule->perl_file
->size('<10Ki')
->in('dir');
# Locate all the modules that PAUSE will index
my @mod = File::Find::Rule->no_index
->perl_module
->in('My-Distribution');
DESCRIPTION
I write a lot of things that muck with Perl files. And it always annoyed me that finding "perl files" requires a moderately complex
File::Find::Rule pattern.
File::Find::Rule::Perl provides methods for finding various types Perl-related files, or replicating search queries run on a distribution
in various parts of the CPAN ecosystem.
METHODS
perl_module
The "perl_module" rule locates perl modules. That is, files that are named "*.pm".
This rule is equivalent to "->"file->name( '*.pm' )> and is included primarily for completeness.
perl_test
The "perl_test" rule locates perl test scripts. That is, files that are named "*.t".
This rule is equivalent to "->"file->name( '*.t' )> and is included primarily for completeness.
perl_installer
The "perl_installer" rule locates perl distribution installers. That is, it locates "Makefile.PL" and "Build.PL" files.
perl_script
The "perl_script" rule locates perl scripts.
This is any file that ends in .pl, or any files without extensions that have a perl "hash-bang" line.
perl_file
The "perl_file" rule locates all files containing Perl code.
This includes all the files matching the above "perl_module", "perl_test", "perl_installer" and "perl_script" rules.
no_index
# Provide the rules directly
$rule->no_index(
directory => [ 'inc', 't', 'examples' ],
file => [ 'Foo.pm', 'lib/Foo.pm' ],
);
# Provide a META.yml to use
$rule->no_index( 'META.yml' );
# Provide a dist root directory to look for a META.yml in
$rule->no_index( 'My-Distribution' );
# Automatically pick up a META.yml from the target directory
$rule->no_index->in( 'My-Distribution' );
The "no_index" method applies a set of rules as per the no_index section in a "META.yml" file.
