Re: Unlink files but not in pwd

Why use perl (unless this is homework)?

find "/path/of/dir" -name 'shell-type-glob-for-file' -delete

You can also use perl-type regex's with regex and regextype options

Hi Illuminatus, Thanks for your reply! Actually, this is a part of a bigger perl script. Of course, you are right, I could use unix's find in a system command, but that would mean shell invokation and I would prefer not to. Could you be more specific about your suggestion using regex options? Athanasia	[reply]

The options I mentioned are to find. Your initial post about having to prepend the path (also in another reply) does not seem all that odious. You could also check out File::Find	[reply]
