in thread delete folder and its content with plain perl

pryrt:

Yeah, I probably should have elaborated on that a bit. As you probably know CMD.EXE shell has some commands built into it, so there are no EXE versions of some commands you'd expect to find. I should've mentioned to the OP that adding the "cmd", "/c" arguments are to let you tell the CMD shell to execute a built-in command. For commands with external EXE files (such as RMDIR.EXE) it wouldn't be helpful.
