colox has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dear Monks, I have a routine to recursively search for files in a directory & move the file to another folder if it satisfies a condition. Since I need to do recursive search, I thought of using File::Find::name. It works in getting all the list of files & in moving the files to the other folder. However, my problem now is that the subfolders from the source directory stays (& empty) & are not getting deleted. Is there a way to auto-delete those using the same module? If not, any suggestion how to do it in a "nice way"?

sub Get_Allist{ @files=(); my $inputdir = $InP; find(sub {push @files,$File::Find::name if (-f $File::Find::name a +nd /\.*$/); }, $inputdir); } sub Move_Files{ foreach $srcfile (@files){ #Process each file in input folder move("$srcfile", "$OutP\\."); } }
