The find2perl program does not support the -maxdepth option because Perl was
developed on Unix and -maxdepth is not a valid option for the Unix find
command. The GNU/Linux, OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD find commands
support -maxdepth.
When in doubt about what Unix/Linux/BSD command options are supported where,
check the man page multiplexer at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi Of
course your Perl code will be more portable if you avoid running external
system command.
Cheers,
Richard
