True, it's complicated. But a few minutes spent looking at the man page for find2perl and the POD for File::Find should permit a user to piece things together.

It's not always necessary to understand *everything* about a subject in order to make use of the tools. I don't know how to tear apart and rebuild my car's engine, but that doesn't prevent me from driving it.
