I've written a module that is much like File::Find, but specific for
Win32, using Windows API calls through Win32::API, to loop through the
directories. It's worth the trouble, it can be 2 to 5 times faster than
plain File::Find.
I was considering the name File::Find::Win32 -- in fact, that's the name
I've been using for my own use for many months now. Is this OK?
Now how do I tell CPAN-testers that this module is *only* intended for
Win32? Like Win32::API, where most of the entries for CPAN-testers are
"NA". At first sight I see nothing special in the Makefile.PL or any
other top level file. So, how does it work? Why do CPAN-testers skip
this module?

I think all you need to do is have your Makefile.PL die when it
detects an unsuitable environment. At least that's what I do in a few of
my modules and I see a couple of NA results. I'd be quite surprised if
they'd exist due to the thoughfulness of some CPAN testers who manually
edited their reports.

the individual testers seem to have their own set-ups.
You could but a line in the top of the tests that skips all the
tests if they aren't on the right platform (or you could bail
out of all of the tests).
