can perl 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
