You do the rm on the symbolic link. I would also make sure you don't have any aliases for rm that will follow the link. To do this simply execute the command unalias rm.

math::symbolic::exportconstants
Math::Symbolic::ExportConstants(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Math::Symbolic::ExportConstants(3pm)
NAME
Math::Symbolic::ExportConstants - Export constants used for Math::Symbolic
SYNOPSIS
use Math::Symbolic::ExportConstants qw/:all/;
DESCRIPTION
This just exports a number of constants on demand. Usually, you'd want to rather use Math::Symbolic instead. Math::Symbolic allows you to
optionally export the same constants as this module, but using the ':constants' tag instead of the ':all' tag that you'd have to use with
this module.
Please refer to the documentation of the Math::Symbolic module for a list of constants.
EXPORT
None by default. But since exporting symbols is the only functionality of this module, you'll want to export the :all group of constants.
AUTHOR
Please send feedback, bug reports, and support requests to the Math::Symbolic support mailing list: math-symbolic-support at lists dot
sourceforge dot net. Please consider letting us know how you use Math::Symbolic. Thank you.
If you're interested in helping with the development or extending the module's functionality, please contact the developers' mailing list:
