crabbdean, don't call it by  system('find','arg1','arg2'); but call it with  system('/dir/to/find','arg1','arg2'); or  system('./find','arg1','arg2'); so that you don't have to worry about the system using it's own version of find.

This, of course, assumes that you know where it puts your find.exe file. Look at the docs and see how to use binded files. . .
