in thread removing directories with wildcard glob in OS-portable way
Trust me, the OS detection is happening, just not in your code. But that's not the problem.
It's all teh other stuff that is happening under the covers that you also don't know about.
This:
perl -E"system q[for /d %d in (scale-*) do @rd /q /s %d]"
Does the same job as this:
perl -MFile::Path -MFile::Spec -wE"File::Path::remove_tree(glob(File:: +Spec->catdir('.','scale-').'*'));"
But uses only 7% of the user cpu and 3% of the system cpu.
Does it matter? Depends alot on how big the trees are and how often you run the command I guess, but why use cycles you don't have to.
With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
