I'm not quite sure I understand either of the posts #1 or #3, but if you say that the find command mentioned doesn't return anything, this is not surprising:
- -type d returns only directory names: none of your files is a directory.
- -mtime +14 returns names older than 14 days (in fact 14 * 24 hours): none of your files is that old; the oldest (24. Oct) is nine days old as of today (2. Nov).

NAME
Autodia::Handler::dia - AutoDia handler for dia DESCRIPTION
This provides Autodia with the ability to read dia files, allowing you to convert them via the Diagram Export methods to images (using GraphViz and VCG) or html/xml using custom templates. The dia handler will parse dia xml files using XML::Simple and populating the diagram object with class, superclass and package objects. the dia handler is registered in the Autodia.pm module, which contains a hash of language names and the name of their respective language - in this case: SYNOPSIS
use Autodia::Handler::dia; my $handler = Autodia::Handler::dia->New(\%Config); $handler->Parse(filename); # where filename includes full or relative path. CONSTRUCTION METHOD my $handler = Autodia::Handler::dia->New(\%Config); This creates a new handler using the Configuration hash to provide rules selected at the command line. ACCESS METHODS $handler->Parse(filename); # where filename includes full or relative path. This parses the named file and returns 1 if successful or 0 if the file could not be opened. SEE ALSO
