`find [...] -exec [...]' confusion


Hello,

I have been wondering about this for a long time. In msg #36282 by: Simon 
Heffer, he mentions what i have found: that when `find' is run with an -exec 
option, there is invariably a message saying "missing argument to exec."

Trying something like this:

find /perl -name "*.pl" -exec cat {}

gives me that error message. can someone confirm to me that this is a bug? or 
not?
  Thank you for an answer that goes easy on the "its-an-FAQ-you-idiot"s.

      Soren Andersen
