find \&wanted, "c:/";
will run the wanted function once for every file and directory on the
c drive. An easy way to create function for find is to use an
anonymous subroutine:
find sub {}, "c:/";
If you want to limit the function to files you can check to see if the
current item is a file or not with -f:
find sub {
return unless -f;
print "$File::Find::name\n"
}, "c:/";
That code prints out every filename (with path) on the c drive. The
function returns if the current item is not a file to avoid the print.
