Subject: rmdir or system ("rmdir /Q /s")
I have a PERL script running on NT that deletes directories whether they
are full or empty if they are beyond a certain age. The normal Perl
function rmdir only works if directory is empty. If you append -r to it (as
you would in UNIX) the command fails. The NT system call of rmdir /Q /S
does not work if there are spaces in the directory names. Any
suggestions???
