Hi Felix,
thanks for this, but this only really improves the 'find' part and not the
'rm'. This is because the perl generated uses the 'system' command to fork
the rm on each file, so I am back in the same boat as before.
What I want is to use the find statement to pass filenames on STDIN to the
perl script which then unlinks them all in the same process.
