Ifran,
Could you please post some code so people could actually see what you have
tried or are trying. I know it seems simple and easy but clearly is is not
as simple as it seems as you can't get it working so please do not assume
that others will just suggest a fix for you.
Oh, and I suggest you read the documentation a little bit on rmdir... as it
holds some clues to what it is that you will want to be doing. Link to
documentation <http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/rmdir.html> it mentions
File::Path and rmtree as a solution to your problem.
Regards,
Rob
