I see that you are a Windows user. If you are going to use that first line, "#! perl -w scipt", it should look like this: #!/usr/bin/perl -w. On Unix this says to run the program at /usr/bin/perl (ie Perl) with the -w option. On Windows, this path is ignored and Windows only uses the -w option. This takes the place of "use warnings;" in the code.

I am just going from this comment:
# find all the subdirectories of a given directory.

Before learning about fancy modules, I would recommend learning the basics. The code that you need is not hard.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict; 

use File::Find;

my $start_dir = "C:/"; 

find (\&print_all_directories, "$start_dir");

sub print_all_directories
{
    return if !-d; 
    my $full_dir_path = $File::Find::name;
    print "$full_dir_path\n";
}

find()in module File::Find, visits all files below the directory specified, calling the specified subroutine on each file. A directory is also a file! If the file isn't a directory, print_all_directories() just returns, if this is a directory, we figure out the full path name and print it.
