Chapter 13. Manipulating Files and Directories

Chapter 13. Manipulating Files and Directories

Perl is commonly used to wrangle files and directories. Because Perl grew up in a Unix environment and still spends most of its time there, most of the description in this chapter may seem Unix-centric. But the nice thing is that to whatever degree possible, Perl works exactly the same way on non-Unix systems.

And now a word of warning some cultures consider the number "13" to be very unlucky. We deliberately placed this material as Chapter 13 of this book, since we're about to do some pretty dangerous things if bugs creep into the code (like remove files without a chance of recovery), so be very careful when you're playing with the exercises.
