Hello Wise Monks!
I am wondering how to best delete all the temporary files on win32 machines for all users.
I thought of something like this:

#Pseudo Code
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use File::Find;

my $startdir = "C:/Dokumente\ und\ Einstellungen/";
my $subdir1 ="Lokale\ Einstellungen/ temp";
my $subdir2 ="Lokale\ Einstellungen/Temporary\ InternetFiles";

opendir(DIR, $startdir) or die "could not open: $!";

while (my $file = readdir(DIR)) {
    next if ($file =~ /^\.{1,2}|All\ Users|LocalService|NetworkService
+|Default\ User/i);
    print "$file\n";
    print "$subdir1\n";
    print "$subdir2\n";
    #missing part: delete code from $file, $subdir1 recursively
    
    }
closedir(DIR);

[download]
#Missing Part:
#Code to recursively go down in the directories and
#delete from the starting point e.g. "C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen/user1/Lokale Einstellungen/Temp" #the same for user2 ... userx

Thanks
MH
