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...

now you're showing some step forward
my complements!
for those who are wondering why beginners are here,

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.

"system" is calling a command from OS, and "rm" is a unix command,
if you are using Windows, that doesn't work. Use unlink($filename)
is a real cross platform command =)
if you want to use "system" to remove a file in windows, write it as
system("del $filename"); or print `del $filename`

You (or they) have forgotten the quotes:
system("rm -rf $file");
But if you copied this from another source, that source was totally
unaware that deletion of files like THAT is TOTALLY unsafe.

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.

It's "perldoc -f system" not "perldoc system".

The rm -rf $file should be in quotes
system( "rm -rf $file" )
but make sure file isn't / !!! :)

I'm not aware of the reason for it.
What's a good way to find which perl doc
Randy,
You can delete a file, or a list of files, using "unlink". Example:
##
unlink $file;
##
perldoc -f unlink
Hope that helps.
