unlink LIST
unlink Deletes a list of files. Returns the number of
files successfully
I have written a script that searches through a directory and finds files
that are no longer needed - these files are actually image files - .jpg or
..gif extensions.
But how do I actually delete the unused files ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance

To delete files, use unlink - just as you would in the Unix terminal:
e.g
[mag-17 scripts]$ perl -e ' unlink foo.bar '
this deletes the file foo.bar.

now you're showing some step forward

it's to learn and pass along that which they have

Hmm... I don't know, and not sure =)
The writer mensioned he already wrote the script for searching matched
files,
and suppose it would get the file as a list...

I am writing my first perl program (copied from a magazine).
The only line that is not working is

The error message is:
Can't call method rm with a package or object reference.
Any tips?

Randy,
You can delete a file, or a list of files, using unlink. Example:
##
unlink $file;
##
perldoc -f unlink
Hope that helps.

But if you copied this from another source, that source was totally
unaware that deletion of files like THAT is TOTALLY unsafe. A safer
approach is:
system(rm, -rf, $file);
I'm not aware of the reason for it.
What's a good way to find which perl doc contains
The rm -rf $file should be in quotes
system( rm -rf $file )
but make sure file isn't / !!! :)

Multi-arg system()
system( rm -rf $file );

Try 'system(rm, -rf, $file)'. The quotes are not really
necessary here (I think), but you should use them, because otherwise
rm and rf will be interpreted as barewords, and you might get in
conflict with the reserved ones.
