NAME

       File::Remove - Remove files and directories

SYNOPSIS

	   use File::Remove 'remove';

	   # removes (without recursion) several files
	   remove( '*.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( '*~' );

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.

   clear
       The "clear" function is a version of "remove" designed for use in test scripts. It takes a list of paths that it will both initially delete
       during the current test run, and then further flag for deletion at END-time as a convenience for the next test run.

   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.

NAME

       Padre::Task::File - File operations in the background

SYNOPSIS

	 # Recursively delete
	 Padre::Task::File->new(
	   remove => 'C:fooaraz',
	 )->schedule;

DESCRIPTION

       The File::Remove CPAN module is a specialised package for deleting files or recursively deleting directories.

       As well as providing the basic support for recursive deletion, it adds several other important features such as removing readonly limits on
       the fly, taking ownership of files if permitted, and moving the current working directory out of the deletion path so that directory
       cursors won't block the deletion (a particular problem on Windows).

       The task takes the name of a single file or directory to delete (for now), and proceeds to attempt a recursive deletion of the file or
       directory via the File::Remove "remove" method.

       In the future, this module will also support more types of file operations and support the execution of a list of operations.

METHODS

   new
	 my $task = Padre::Task::File->new(
	     remove => '/foo/bar/baz',
	 );

       Creates a new deletion task.

       Takes a single parameter "remove" which must be an absolute path to the file to delete (as the "current directory" may change between the
       time the removal task is created and when it is executed).

   remove
       The "remove" accessor returns the absolute path of the file or directory the task will try to delete (or tried to delete in the case of
       completed tasks).
