Deleting a file

how to delete file in perl ?



Posted by graham (graham), 7 December 2002
Use the unlink function. Example:
     unlink "test.txt;

unlink takes a list of parameters so that you can delete more than one file at a time; if you don't give it a list at all, it deletes the file named in $_.  Do not use unlink to get rid of directories - use rmdir instead.
