hth,

------------------------------------------------------------------------I am able to delete the files from the given path, where files are older than 24 hours.
But it is also going inside the directories of the path and deleting the files older than 24 hours.I want just the files to be deleted from that path, without going inside any directory of that path and deleting files from that directory too

find /tmp/test -type f -mtime +0 -exec rm {} \;

For example: if the test directory has one more directory "/test/test2" and files are there in the test2 directory, but if i issue the above command, it will go inside the test2 and delete files...

I dont want this command to go inside the directory and deleting files
Can you troubleshoot and pass the solution.

dancer::cookie

Dancer::Cookie(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				       Dancer::Cookie(3pm)

NAME

       Dancer::Cookie - class representing cookies

SYNOPSIS

	   use Dancer::Cookie;

	   my $cookie = Dancer::Cookie->new(
	       name => $cookie_name, value => $cookie_value
	   );

DESCRIPTION

       Dancer::Cookie provides a HTTP cookie object to work with cookies.

ATTRIBUTES

   name
       The cookie's name.

   value
       The cookie's value.

   expires
       The cookie's expiration date.  There are several formats.

       Unix epoch time like 1288817656 to mean "Wed, 03-Nov-2010 20:54:16 GMT"

       A human readable offset from the current time such as "2 hours".  It currently understands...

	   s second seconds sec secs
	   m minute minutes min mins
	   h hr hour hours
	   d day days
	   w week weeks
	   M month months
	   y year years

       Months and years are currently fixed at 30 and 365 days.  This may change.

       Anything else is used verbatim.

   domain
       The cookie's domain.

   path
       The cookie's path.

   secure
       If true, it instructs the client to only serve the cookie over secure connections such as https.

   http_only
       By default, cookies are created with a property, named "HttpOnly", that can be used for security, forcing the cookie to be used only by the
       server (via HTTP) and not by any JavaScript code.

       If your cookie is meant to be used by some JavaScript code, set this attribute to 0.

METHODS
/SUBROUTINES
   new
       Create a new Dancer::Cookie object.

       You can set any attribute described in the ATTRIBUTES section above.

   init
       Runs an expiration test and sets a default path if not set.

   to_header
       Creates a proper HTTP cookie header from the content.
