Module::Find won't traverse down symbolic link directories. So if I have Foo.pm Foo/Bar.pm the _find sub won't find Foo::Bar if Foo/ is a symlink. If some you think this would be undesirable behaviour, perhaps an option no_follow_symlinks for each exported sub would be desireable.

Subject: Module::Find doesn't work with symlinks
I have a bunch of perl modules in a location like /home/Library/lib/ that are symlinked into the perlpath at /usr/lib/perl/site_perl/ and the module doesn't seem to be able to find it.

Thanks for reporting this bug. I've changed the default behaviour so that symlinks are followed now, and added functions to change the behaviour.
