Re: Deleting Microsoft's hidden web caches created by IE5

[zentara]

After reading the article, maybe just deleting the files may not be enough, since MS might wise up and just undelete the file. So what would be a good wipe routine to run on $_ before doing the unlink? Split it into characters and replace each character with 0? Ideas?

descartes wrote an implementation of the Orange Book's shred program, which is apparently a pretty good way of truly zapping files, if it's the contents of the file you're worried about.

print@_{sort keys %_},$/if%_=split//,'= & *a?b:e\f/h^h!j+n,o@o;r$s-t%t#u'
