In the immortal words of Chris Kotacka (arch@concentric.net):
And by the time all that is typed, or other proposed solutions are compiled, etc... a normal rm -rf Blah & would complete...
Not even _close_. rm -rf will take orders of magnitude longer than the perl solution, even if you type out the perl with one finger on a dvorak keyboard. Consult your local source code archive for clues as to why.
