Free software amazes me!  "Commercial" companies, for all the headache 
they cause, never respond this quickly, I don't think.

For what it's worth, I never had trouble with -name.

I was pretty tired and Perl scripting.  The find man page said 
"wholename, pattern, match" and my brain just confused the whole thing 
with "regex patterns".

Very frequently, all I need for documentation is several good solid 
examples.  The rest of the man pages is often a lot of noise.
man pages lack examples, and that's a big void specially for newcomers.

In this case, the man page had _exactly_ the right example, and I was 
totally confused... my own fault, entirely.
