in thread Yea, though i walk through the shadow of File::Find & Directory Tree Deletion...

i checked this, permissioning having bitten me before -

I *can* remove a simple empty directory using a perl rmdir call, from activestate perl, successfully, provided i have not cd'd to the location of the directory. the directory to be deleted should be empty when the problem script above gets to it, so i think the thing that is stopping the script from functioning is not permissioning, or the fact that there is a file there -

i think it is more the fact that the chdir implicit in File::Find is preventing the action of rmdir, but am still testing...

thanks anyway -
