File::Remove 0.34

File::Remove is a Perl module to remove files and directories.

SYNOPSIS

use File::Remove qw(remove);

# removes (without recursion) several files
remove qw( *.c *.pl );

# removes (with recursion) several directories
remove 1, qw( directory1 directory2 );

# removes (with recursion) several files and directories
remove 1, qw( file1 file2 directory1 *~ );

# trashes (with support for undeleting later) several files
trash qw( *~ );

File::Remove::remove removes files and directories. It acts like /bin/rm, for the most part. Although unlink can be given a list of files, it will not remove directories; this module remedies that. It also accepts wildcards, * and ?, as arguments for filenames.

File::Remove::trash accepts the same arguments as remove, with the addition of an optional, infrequently used "other platforms" hashref.
