in the man perlfunc page we see:
unlink LIST
unlink Deletes a list of files. Returns the number of
files successfully deleted.
$cnt = unlink 'a', 'b', 'c';
unlink @goners;
unlink <*.bak>;
Note: "unlink" will not delete directories unless
you are superuser and the -U flag is supplied to
Perl. Even if these conditions are met, be warned
that unlinking a directory can inflict damage on
your filesystem. Use "rmdir" instead.
If LIST is omitted, uses "$_".
But can someone explain the <*.bak>? how does that work and what does it do?
(and where is there a description of it's use)? Thanx
Nik J
