How to Delete a File in Perl programming?



Explanation

To delete a file, the function used in perl is unlink().

Syntax:
    unlink(filepath)

In the above syntax the "filepath" is the name of the file to be deleted.

Example:
    #! C:\programfiles\perl\bin\perl
    print "content-type: text/html\n\n";
    @set = ("file1.txt","file2.txt");
    foreach $file (@set) 
    {
     unlink($set);
    }

In the above example the files to be deleted are stored in an array "set", in a loop each file is deleted using the ulink() function.
