can hanging perl process wipe out a directory?
Hi,
This weekend i left a perl script running , I was running it in a remote machine. The machine seems to have been rebooted during the weekend. When i got back on monday the entire directory containing the script was wiped out. The process had been aborted. Nobody has access to the directory except me, and i din't remove it. I have come across something vaguley about perl process removing the directory..
Can someone throw some light on this? or direct me to a suitable link. It seems absurd as such.
Thanks

BP_PROCESS_WORMBASE(1p) User Contributed Perl Documentation BP_PROCESS_WORMBASE(1p)
NAME
process_wormbase.pl - Massage WormBase GFF files into a version suitable for the Generic Genome Browser
SYNOPSIS
% process_wormbase.pl ./WS61 > wormbase.gff
DESCRIPTION
This script massages the Wormbase GFF files located at ftp://www.wormbase.org/pub/wormbase/GENE_DUMPS into a version of the GFF format
suitable for display by the generic genome browser. It mainly adds comments to the annotations and designates certain well-spaced genetic
loci as framework landmarks.
This script requires the AcePerl distribution, which is available on CPAN (look for the "Ace" module).
To use this script, get the WormBase GFF files from the FTP site listed above and place them in a directory. It might be a good idea to
name the directory after the current release, such as WS61. You do not need to uncompress the files.
Then give that directory as the argument to this script and capture the script's output to a file:
% process_wormbase.pl ./WS61 > wormbase.gff
It may take a while before you see output from this script, since it must first fetch gene and protein database from the remote AceDB
running at www.wormbase.org. The wormbase.gff file can then be loaded into a Bio::DB::GFF database using the following command:
% bulk_load_gff.pl -d <databasename> wormbase.gff
