How to use the -I command line switch?

[tipdbmp via Digitalmars-d-learn]

// C:\libs\my_module.d
module my_module;
void foo() {}
// main.d
module main;
import my_module;

void main() {
    foo();
}

Running dmd with:
    dmd -IC:\libs main.d my_module.d

I get:
    Error: module my_module is in file 'my_module.d' which cannot 
be read
    import path[0] = C:\libs
