in reply to dir / file split

This may help find any Solaris gotchas (perlsolaris for 5.004 - I think).

Otherwise, might you be able to use the system's find command? That looks like a scary pattern to be determining files to delete :).

Portability of glob function in a modern perl may help, too. Can you be more specific about how you are selecting files to "clean"?

    I'm using MJD's dir_walk function from Higher Order Perl and the root dir for the clean is a very specific area of the filesystem: the regex shown is only being used to extract the filename from the full filepath returned by readdir... Thanks!
