File::Find is fairly simple to use. Import the find() function, then pass
it two or more arguments: a subroutine reference, and a list of files or
directories.

    find(\&wanted, @files_or_directories);

The wanted subroutine (if that's what you call it) is called for each file
and directory found. See perldoc File::Find for more information.
