- rmdir FILENAME

- rmdir

  Deletes the directory specified by FILENAME if that directory is empty. If it succeeds it returns true; otherwise it returns false and sets $! (errno). If FILENAME is omitted, uses $_ .

  To remove a directory tree recursively (`rm -rf` on Unix) look at the rmtree function of the File::Path module.
