Question re remove_tree and symlinks

[Mike Martin]

Am I right in believing that remove_tree from File::Path does not follow
symlinks, ie: does not remove the linked file only the link if there are
links in the direstories removed

eg:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use File::Path('make_path','remove_tree');
my $dir='testdellink';# contains links to files in testdel
remove_tree($dir,{safe => 1});

Will not remove files in testdel that are linked to in testdellink

thanks

Mike
