Is there a definative way to recreate the gnu `rm -rf` in perl? I've seen a couple of modules that seem to implement something, and a bunch of variations using File::Find, but it just seems overly complicated. Since it's important I understand exactly what it's going to do (it's removing data here!) I'm hesitant to put any of them in use.
And I guess the related question is, should I just shell out for this? Performance and portability aren't a concern here...
