Re^2: [SOLVED]: Using glob in file test gives "Use of uninitialized value in -e" warning.

Although if you really need to sudo, then it may be the only way.

Even then, I would probably use sudo to run the perl script and use unlink in the script. Having to work with some random default shell is just a mess, and it can be quite dangerous with elevated privileges.

Yes afoken, you're most probably right. It's actually quite strange that I wrote "may be the only way," because I actually thought of `sudo`ing the whole Perl script when I reflected on what I was going to write (and I wasn't quite sure of which of the two solutions would be better), but, for some reason, that thought somehow got completely out of my mind when I actually typed the message.
