I would like to do a recursive read of a directory on my local
computer. Is this possible with File::Find? If not, is there any other
way to do it in Perl?

Thanks! Would you happen to have an example? I only got it to work for
a UNIX path not a path on my local computer. It could be I didn't
escape the path right. For example, if I have "C:\projects\docs
\HUNGER_AWARENESS_04212008", would I have to pass it as "C:\\projects\
\docs\\HUNGER_AWARENESS_04212008"?

Or 'C:/projects/docs/HUNGER_AWARENESS_04212008' should work as well.

From perlfaq5:

Why can't I use "C:\temp\foo" in DOS paths? Why doesn't `C:\temp
\foo.exe` work?

We are not going to write your code for you when the documentation
contains both working examples and answers to frequently answered
questions.
