I would like to test a folder full of files, and if a file contains

What would be the best way of achieving this please?
I would use `grep -l` to get the list of filenames, and rm to unlink
them.
No Perl involved.
That can get tricky if any of the file names contain whitespace or other
funny characters.

More food for thought for me, but "tricky" is something that I will
leave for later once I get a bit more familiar with what I want from PERL.
