I don't know how to pass a pattern (like find . -name "*.pl") without
doing filename expansion. Under UNIX, I would use \* , "*" or '*' to
protect the pattern from the shell. None of this methods work with
gnu-win32 commands running from a command prompt (not bash).
Is there another way of doing this?
