rmdir 
rmdir FILENAME
rmdirThis function deletes the directory specified by
FILENAME if that directory is empty. If the
function succeeds, it returns true; otherwise, it returns false. See
also the File::Path module if you want to remove the contents of the
directory first and don’t care to shell out to call rm –r for some reason (such as not having a
shell or an rm command).
