Bug #8291 for File-Remove: File::Remove does not seem to delete empty directories

Mon Nov 08 10:50:28 2004 Guest - Ticket created

Subject:

File::Remove does not seem to delete empty directories

System: Microsoft Windows 2000 5.00.2195 Service Pack 4 Perl: This is perl, v5.8.0 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread When I do a remove(\1,$someDirectory) it deletes subdirectories wich contain files but does not delete neither empty subdirectories nor the directory itself. The same script works perfectly on Linux.

0.22 handles directories slightly differently, and will remove empty directories in situations where it should have (but would not) before. This may resolve your issue; if so, the newly-added tests in 0.22 will pass; otherwise, please reply with the test failure report for further analysis. Thanks :) [1] http://search.cpan.org/~rsod/File-Remove-0.22/ - R. - R.
