  • rmdir FILENAME

  • rmdir

    Deletes the directory specified by FILENAME if that directory is empty. If it succeeds it returns true, otherwise it returns false and sets $! (errno). If FILENAME is omitted, uses $_ .

    To remove a directory tree recursively (rm -rf on unix) look at the rmtree function of the File::Path module.
