linuxfreak,
find2perl is designed to convert a *nix style (though it works for Win32) find command into the equivalent perl code. You might use it as follows:
$ find2perl / -name blah -exec rm {} \; > rmblah.pl $ chmod 500 rmblah.pl $ ./rmblah.pl
It uses File::Find. It is not meant to actually be a line in your code like:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; find2perl $path -name $fName;
I would suggest you also take a look at File::Find::Rule. Once you get the hang of it, there really isn't any need to use find2perl unless you are porting someone else's obfu'd shell script that has some weird find command in it.

Hope this helps - L~R
