OK, I've read through the perldoc on File::Find, and did some searching here as well as via Google, but to no avail. I'm guessing I'm missing something fairly fundamental here, and I'm hoping someone will be kind enough to point out what that is exactly :)

I can't seem to get File::Find to do anything on Win32 (WinNT with latest Activestate release build).

The relevant code snippet from my larger script is as follows: 

use File::Find ();

$File::Find::dont_use_nlink=1; # I found a post here that said somethi
+ng about setting this if you intend to run it on DOS, and I did as I 
+may want to run it on Win95/98 as well

# I'm looking for "eudora.ini" on my system and I want it to search fr
+om the root of C: (and it definitely exists on my system)

File::Find::find( {wanted => \&wanted}, 'C:/' ) || die "Can't search f
+or file: $" ;

sub wanted {
    /^eudora\.ini\z/s;
}

print ($File::Find::name);

Right now, it doesn't print anything, and my hard drive doesn't spin at all.

I've also tried substituting '/' and 'C:/' instead of 'c:/', but it made no difference.

The rest of my script below the above code works just fine, it's just this piece that's giving me grief :)

Thanks for all suggestions.
