Just for fun...
I have a big, deep directory tree. Some directories contain files, some
don't.
I want to prune out all the directories for which there are no files in
that directory, or any sub-directory thereof. Every directory contains
zero or more sub-directories.
After the solution runs, all the files should remain, untouched and
unmoved. All empty directory branches should be gone.
Clear as mud? I failed to Google a solution in 5 minutes.
Any takers? If not maybe we'll hit it for the Perl Monger mtg next Thr.
