Roboticus:

Thanks for your valuable input.

About forward slashes: I just included the part of my code which was accidentally excluded. I am dealing with user input and most times its two backslashes forwarded by server name and share (\\hostname\share-dir\ ).

Also i think the area where the thing going wrong at Linux environment is the rmdir $_ is feeding the directory name only and not the full path with the name.

I am getting script output like below, i added a print statement inside "findpath" like below, print " directories are $_ \n"; 

 directories are folder
 directories are dir2
 directories are folder
 directories are dir3
 directories are folder
 directories are dir1
 directories are .

How can i make sure the find path function returns full path for every empty directory?
