unlink
unlink list
Deletes a list of files. (Under Unix, it will remove
a link to a file, but the file may still exist if another link
references it.) If list
is omitted, it
unlinks the file given in $_
.
The function returns the number of files successfully deleted.
Note that unlink
will not
delete directories unless you are the superuser and the
-U flag is supplied to Perl. Even if these
conditions are met, be warned that unlinking a directory can
inflict serious damage on your filesystem. Use rmdir
instead.
