in thread File::Path::rmtree: What am I not grokking?

The point was that I didn't want to hardcode alpha. I wanted to supply the same, single variable to rmfromtop as I did to mkpath. And just as mkpath was creating a whole tree, I wanted a function to delete that same whole tree. Since this will be used in a testing context, I'm going to be creating the tree, verifying that I created it, deleting the tree, and verifying that I deleted it.

But you have to `splitdirs` anyway in order to remove all components, so why not simply `rmtree +( splitdirs $partial )[ 0 ]`? That has the exact same effect. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply] [d/l]
