I am very new to Perl and need your help.

#!c:\perl\bin\perl.exe -w

use strict;
use File::Find;
use Carp;

#variables
my ($directory,$file,$text);

print "Enter search text: ";
    $text = <STDIN>;
      chomp $text;

$directory = 'c:\my_directory';
find (\&search,$directory);

sub search {
    my $file = $File::Find::name;
    open (FILE, "$file") or carp "Guess what, it didn't work!\n$!";
    my $line = <FILE>;
    close FILE;
    print "$text - $file"    
    if $line =~ /$text/;
    
}

I have numerous errors that I am trying to work my way through, but the one that I am trying to figure out right now is:
Permission denied at C:/Perl/lib/File/Find.pm line 450
(I am sure there are several other errors the monks can point out as well :-) )

Find.pm is in that folder and I have full access to it. I found this but I don't know enough to figure out if it is truly related or not. I am using PPM 3.0.1 if that helps....

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much!
