in reply to Get list of first level subdirectories

This code lists directories in the current directory, and child folders one level down. I'll leave it to you to make this delete your files ;) (btw, this is pretty much straight out of the black leopard book)
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Cwd; sub ScanDirectory{ my ($workdir) = shift; my ($depth) = shift; $depth++; my ($startdir) = &cwd; chdir($workdir) or die; opendir(DIR, ".") or die; my @names = readdir(DIR) or die; closedir(DIR); foreach my $name (@names) { next if ($name eq "."); next if ($name eq ".."); if (-d $name) { print &cwd."/".$name."\n"; &ScanDirectory($name, $depth) if $dept +h <= 1; next; } } chdir($startdir); } &ScanDirectory(".",0);
