This is a short script using IO::All to remove broken symlinks.
Note, it has to redefine the readlink() method, because as of version 0.35 of IO::All, readlink doesn't handle relative symlinks.
IO::All sure makes my life easier!
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use IO::All::Link; # Because we redefine readlink()...
use IO::All;
my $file = shift @ARGV || '.';
my @ios = ( io($file) );
while (my $io = shift @ios) {
if ($io->is_dir) {
push @ios, $io->all;
} elsif ($io->is_link and not $io->readlink->exists) {
print "$io is broken, removing.\n";
$io->unlink;
}
}
# this has been submitted as a patch to IO::All...
no warnings 'redefine';
sub IO::All::Link::readlink {
my $io = shift;
my $path = CORE::readlink($io->name);
unless (File::Spec->file_name_is_absolute($path)) {
$path = File::Spec->join($io->filepath, $path);
}
IO::All->new($path);
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
