perch_categories filtering

I'd like to display a subset of all my categories. I know I can use the "set" filter like this:

<?php
    perch_categories(array(
        'set' => 'products',
    ));
?>

but what I'd really like to be able to do is to just display the children of a particular category within this set. How can I do this? I tried filtering on the path, but this didn't seem to work.

Update - I think I worked this one out:

perch_categories(array(
        'set' => 'products',
        'filter' => 'catParentID',
        'match' => 'eq',
        'value' => 1
    ));

This gets me the categories I was after. I couldn't see filtering on the category parent ID in the docs anywhere, but this is working for me now in any case.
