Just to recap. Your -regex part did not work on my Ubuntu Linux system.

I had to change:

   find . -type f -perm /111 -regex '[^.]+' -print

... to ....

   find . -type f -perm /111 \( ! -regex '.*/\..*' \) -print

Now it finds all executables excluding and hidden directories and files 
in the results. Even excluding non-hidden files in hidden directories 
(which is what I want).
