The point is, that you have an empty skeleton directory tree. The toppermost directories are not themselves empty as they contain directories.
Here is a technique I use in one of my module tests for removing the directory 'test' and anything below: find( {
bydepth => 1,
wanted => sub { if (-d $_) {
rmdir $_;
} else {
1 while unlink $_;
}
},
}, 'test') if -d 'test';
rmdir 'test';
In case you are wondering about 1 while unlink, check out the node.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
