@DrHyde, @BrowserUk, @chrestomanci.
Greetings to all of you, and thank you for your replies!
While I can completely understand the conclusion all of you arrived at;
Please let me take the time to clarify "grossly inefficient", as to my intended assessment.
I was referring to the volume of code (source) that find2perl emitted as an alternative to the shell' find && rm script.
So to be clear; I do/have not found Perls' File::Find to be "grossly inefficient", but rather; it appeared (to me) that the code/source required to achieve the same results in Perls' File::Find, was much greater than tha shells' counterpart.
I definitely meant no disrespect to Perl || Perls' File::Find. :)
