Thanks a lot folks for your suggesstions....
Jeff is correct...its a directory tree that gets deleted. To worsen the situation, I don't have root access to the system to do stuffs like recompiling perl binary, putting in handlers to be executed by the kernel b4 executing any unlink system call.
chmod 000 might work...will have to see.
Thanks a lot...
