File::Find Win32 Examples



I am trying to learn Perl using the latest ActiveState on a Windows XP
machine.

Most of the examples I find for using modules are made for Linux users.
So when I set out to learn find2perl or File::Find the scripts usually
don't work because of pathname problems, (or so I assume).

Could someone please supply a file::find example for a windows xp
machine?

For instance, my drives are usually partitioned with data on d:\. How
would I search all files on d: drive for any file containing the string
"perl amateur"

Thank you for any help.
