Re: Recursive delete files using perl script

you could find everything in

http://perldoc.perl.org/Net/FTP.html

you have to use the ls ( [ DIR ] ) to know if the directory is empty and then loop for the files of your directory to delete ( FILENAME ) all the files before using rmdir ( DIR )

or you can try to use the RECURSE option of rmdir : rmdir ( DIR , RECURSE ) Remove the directory with the name DIR . If RECURSE is true then rmdir will attempt to delete everything inside the directory.

Given how you formatted your documentation link, I thought you might want to give Markup in the Monastery and What shortcuts can I use for linking to other information? a perusal. In particular, I would have chosen to format that link as `[doc://Net::FTP]`, which renders as Net::FTP. #11929 First ask yourself `How would I do this without a computer?'
