in thread How do you make File::Find a bit less ugly?

Since there are Windows ports of this basic utility, the only barrier to using it would be boneheaded policy constraints against installing such apps on Windows machines.
I disagree.

First: These ports tend to use Unix-like syntax for their file paths. Often they're having difficulties with colons or with backslashes as path separators.

Second: if you want to use the full power of the tool, or even get moderately fluent, there's no command line utility so hard to get used to as find.

    For me, it is Maypole-the-magic. Oh, "comand line utility" would be sed with multiple backslashing-the-backslash version ... then ... i just pull out awk|perl.
