Yikes. You are suffering from leaning toothpick syndrom.
And why an array when you are assigning only one string?
And that on Linux. I don't know for sure, but his line smells fishy to me.

find(\&processFiles, "@src_dir") or die ("Can't fetch information from
the find command: $! $@\n");

This works fine from commandline and gives an error when run from
apache. The print is successful and I can see the desired value in the
browser. The following error is logged into the log.

[Mon Feb 27 13:06:02 2006] [error] [client 10.2.20.109] Can't stat
\\\\testnetwork\\filesToBeUploaded\\linux: No such file or directory,

Well, I would guess: a permission problem. Or a problem with using the wrong
path separator.

As evident, it is an escape character issue

Well, maybe or maybe not.
First of all even on Windows you happily use normal forward slashes. Then
you don't get the leaning toothpick syndrom.
Second if you do want to have backslashes and you have a literal string and
don't want it stringified then use single quotes instead of double quotes.
Then even the backslash looses its special meaning and you don't have to
escape it.

$src_dir = '//testnetwork/filesToBeUpLoaded/linux';
