"Traditional" rmtree() Example (continued 2)

• We can remove each tree -- regardless of directory permissions!

        ok 36 - rmtree (traditional) removed 2 items: file; directory /tmp/29918_base/foo_29918_0000
        ok 37 - rmtree (traditional) removed 2 items: file; directory /tmp/29918_base/foo_29918_0100
        ok 38 - rmtree (traditional) removed 2 items: file; directory /tmp/29918_base/foo_29918_0200
        ok 39 - rmtree (traditional) removed 2 items: file; directory /tmp/29918_base/foo_29918_0300
        ok 40 - rmtree (traditional) removed 2 items: file; directory /tmp/29918_base/foo_29918_0400
        ok 41 - rmtree (traditional) removed 2 items: file; directory /tmp/29918_base/foo_29918_0500
        ok 42 - rmtree (traditional) removed 2 items: file; directory /tmp/29918_base/foo_29918_0600
        ok 43 - rmtree (traditional) removed 2 items: file; directory /tmp/29918_base/foo_29918_0700
        1..43
        ok
        All tests successful.
        Files=1, Tests=43,  0 wallclock secs ( 0.02 usr  0.00 sys +  0.04 cusr  0.00 csys =  0.06 CPU)
        Result: PASS

• Interface did not change, but now rmtree() is rm -rf on steroids!
