NAME
   File::Remove - Remove files and directories

SYNOPSIS
       use File::Remove qw(remove);

       # removes (without recursion) several files
       remove qw( *.c *.pl );

       # removes (with recursion) several directories
       remove \1, qw( directory1 directory2 );

       # removes (with recursion) several files and directories
       remove \1, qw( file1 file2 directory1 *~ );

       # trashes (with support for undeleting later) several files
       trash qw( *~ );

DESCRIPTION
   File::Remove::remove removes files and directories. It acts like
   /bin/rm, for the most part. Although "unlink" can be given a list of
   files, it will not remove directories; this module remedies that. It
   also accepts wildcards, * and ?, as arguments for filenames.

   File::Remove::trash accepts the same arguments as remove, with the
   addition of an optional, infrequently used "other platforms" hashref.

SUBROUTINES
   remove
       Removes files and directories. Directories are removed recursively
       like in rm -rf if the first argument is a reference to a scalar that
       evaluates to true. If the first arguemnt is a reference to a scalar
       then it is used as the value of the recursive flag. By default it's
       false so only pass \1 to it.

       In list context it returns a list of files/directories removed, in
       scalar context it returns the number of files/directories removed.
       The list/number should match what was passed in if everything went
       well.

   rm  Just calls remove. It's there for people who get tired of typing
       remove.

   trash
       Removes files and directories, with support for undeleting later.
       Accepts an optional "other platforms" hashref, passing the remaining
       arguments to remove.

       Win32
           Requires Win32::FileOp.

           Installation not actually enforced on Win32 yet, since
           Win32::FileOp has badly failing dependencies at time of writing.

       OS X
           Requires Mac::Glue.

       Other platforms
           The first argument to trash() must be a hashref with two keys,
           'rmdir' and 'unlink', each referencing a coderef. The coderefs
           will be called with the filenames that are to be deleted.
