Throwing -prune into the find command is the answer, but a bit more detail is needed since -prune is rather confusing.

find /pc62/exports \( ! -name exports -prune \) ! -name "ABC*.Z" -name "*.Z" -mtime +1 -exec ls -l {} \;

is one solution. But it causes find to only look in directories named "exports". So something like /pc62/exports/exports/exports/something.Z would be found. The only perfect solution is to use "."

cd /pc62/exports
find . \( ! -name . -prune \) ! -name "ABC*.Z" -name "*.Z" -mtime +1 -exec ls -l {} \;

UNIVERSAL::exports(3pm) 				User Contributed Perl Documentation				   UNIVERSAL::exports(3pm)

NAME
UNIVERSAL::exports - Lightweight, universal exporting of variables SYNOPSIS
package Foo; use UNIVERSAL::exports; # Just like Exporter. @EXPORT = qw($This &That); @EXPORT_OK = qw(@Left %Right); # Meanwhile, in another piece of code! package Bar; use Foo; # exports $This and &That. DESCRIPTION
This is an alternative to Exporter intended to provide a universal, lightweight subset of its functionality. It uses Exporter::Lite, so look there for details. Additionally, "exports()" is provided to find out what symbols a module exports. UNIVERSAL::exports places its methods in the UNIVERSAL namespace, so there is no need to subclass from it. Methods UNIVERSAL::exports has two public methods, import() derived from Exporter::Lite, and exports(). import Some::Module->import; Some::Module->import(@symbols); This is Exporter::Lite's import() method. Look in Exporter::Lite for details. exports @exported_symbols = Some::Module->exports; Some::Module->exports($symbol); Reports what symbols are exported by Some::Module. With no arguments, it simply returns a list of all exportable symbols. Otherwise, it reports if it will export a given $symbol. DIAGNOSTICS
'"%s" is not exported by the %s module' Attempted to import a symbol which is not in @EXPORT or @EXPORT_OK. 'Can't export symbol: %s' Attempted to import a symbol of an unknown type (ie. the leading $@% salad wasn't recognized). AUTHORS
