Re^2: Unit test - check file created using test::directory

Sorry. Should have been clearer. The following lines do not actually throw an error as far as I can see. They just don't do what I was hoping/expecting they would do - ie clean up the files and directories after the test.

 #cleanup after the test - this fails so far
  $dir->remove_files($log_file);
  $dir->remove_directories($log_dir);
  $dir->clean($log_dir);

The commented rmtree command (when commented in and in scope) returns "cannot unlink file for unit-test-temp\xyz.log".

Aha, looking at Test::Direcory, I would infer that the `remove_files()` and `remove_directories()` methods are used to remove files &/or directories from within the directory created by the constructor i.e. personally, I would expect the call `$dir->remove_directories($log_dir);` to fail because `$log_dir` is not a subdirectory of itself, the `clean()` method takes no args and is/should be used to `rmdir` the directory created by the constructor i.e. `$log_dir`.
