How can I
Hi,
Usually, one uses the following command (from the shell prompt)
rm /path/to/file/filename
To supress the confirmation message, use:
rm -f /path/to/file/filename
To delete recursively (i.e. a directory), and make it verbose to the screen:
rm -rfv /path/to/directory
Does that help.

Hi,

Of course, from a perl script, you can either use:
system(/bin/rm -f /path/to/filename);
or
`rm -f filename`
Don't do that. Just use unlink()
perldoc -f unlink
Cheers,
Kevin

To delete a file:
unlink($filename) or die can't delete $filename:$!\n;
To delete lots of files:
unlink(@filenames) == @filenames or die couldn't unlink all of @filenames: $!\n;
To delete a folder:
use File::Path;
rmtree($directory);

for ($i = 0; $i @ARGV.; ++$i) {
if (-e $ARGV[$i]) {
unlink ($ARGV[$i]);
}
else {
print File $ARGV[$i]
it will
run faster with less resource overhead.
