One more small detail, which probably won't be significant unless you happen to be scanning very large quantities of files, links and/or directories: you can use the special operand "_" (the underscore character) on the file-test operators, in order to use the file stat information from the previous stat call (so you don't do repeated stat calls on the same file). Adapting the most recent suggestion from Athanasius:
sub cleanup
{
for (glob $_[0])
{
cleanup_link($_) when -l;
cleanup_dir ($_) when -d _;
cleanup_file($_) when -f _;
}
}

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).
