Dear Monks, I have a routine to recursively search for files in a directory & move the file to another folder if it satisfies a condition. Since I need to do recursive search, I thought of using File::Find::name. It works in getting all the list of files & in moving the files to the other folder. However, my problem now is that the subfolders from the source directory stays (& empty) & are not getting deleted. Is there a way to auto-delete those using the same module? If not, any suggestion how to do it in a "nice way"? 

sub Get_Allist{
    @files=();
    my $inputdir = $InP;
    find(sub {push @files,$File::Find::name if (-f $File::Find::name a
+nd /\.*$/); }, $inputdir);      
    }
    
sub Move_Files{
foreach $srcfile (@files){ #Process each file in input folder
move("$srcfile", "$OutP\\.");
}
}
