How can I recursively delete all .svn directories using Perl?
What would a Perl script look like that would take a directory, and then delete all .svn directories in that directory recursively?
(No shell, cross platform)
You can (and probably should) use svn export in the first place.
Otherwise, use File::Find and File::Path::rmtree:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict; use warnings;
use File::Find;
use File::Path qw( rmtree );
use File::Spec::Functions qw( catfile );
find(&rm_dot_svn, $_) for @ARGV;
sub rm_dot_svn {
return unless -d $File::Find::name;
return if /^.svnz/;
rmtree(catfile $File::Find::name, '.svn');
return;
}
