No, unlink doesn't recurse.

You can, however, use it in tandem with File::Find to get the appropriate effect (or turn to File::Path's rmtree, which does this for you).

    I wish children worked like perl. Cuz, I'd like to unlink the stink from my little girls bum....

    But I'd never want to unlink the look on her face after she stinks up a diaper!

    Couldn't help it, she was crapin, while I was hackin!

    But seriously, I'm gonna hack out something with File::Path(if I have it). This seems like the direction I need to head in.
