You can use File::Find for that, but if you're new to Perl that will likely look confusing to you. But that's what this list is for.
Since you appear to be using Windows, you might check out the FIND command. ('help find' at a command prompt.) If you want more power than that, get a copy of grep compiled for win32. For even more power and control, start learning Perl and use File::Find.
As for replying off-list, that often happens here, but the custom for technical lists is to reply to the list. Others on the list may have the same question and the answer may help them, too. Also, if someone posts an incorrect or incomplete answer, others can correct or supplement it.
HTH.
