There already is a runant.pl that could replace ant.bat - bootstrap
may be a bit more difficult than that (given the problems you
describe).

If you brand it as "NetWare Perl", you could simply use system("") -
if NetWare has an OS command to recursively remove directories. I
don't think you need to pay too much attention to portability in the
scripts that are platform specific by definition.
BTW, is NetWare the correct capitalization (just showing my ignorance,
I know). If so, condition.html should be patched.
