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.

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.
