RE: unlink help.

[Anthony Bhagwandin]

Here is one way, there are probably more elegant ways out there:
 
opendir DIR,"/home/path/to/dir";
@list = readdir DIR;
 
foreach $file (@list) {
        unlink $file if $file =~ m/\.bak$/;
}
 
closedir DIR;

unlink <*.bak>;
 
how I am supposed to specify directory above?
 
for example I have to apply above unlink command to delete all backup files
in the Specified directory.
 
$dir = /home/path/to/dir
 
is it right?
 
unlink <$dir/*.bak>;
 
??
 
Any ideas?
 
Thanks,
 
Sara.
