Hello Monks.

Need help in create quite simple script to clean up recursively whole directory (cache dir) but need to add some exclusions.
This cache dir contains also some subdirs with name which begin from _ i.e. _05 Need to remove all dir, subdirs and content of those directories except directories with _ in name.
We have:
/cache/00/ /cache/01/ /cache/01/aa/ /cache/_01/ /cache/_01/aa/

It should remove /cache/00/ /cache/01/ but should left untouched /cache/_01/ and it subdirs.
It is possible to do it with rmtree?
#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use File::Find; use File::Path qw(make_path remove_tree); my $path="/opt/ssi/www/shop_templates/cache"; rmtree($path) or die "Cannot rmtree '$path' : $!";
It`ll rip off whole cache directory, it is possible to handle exclusions in rmtree?
