I had to have a go at this, so I tried using "rm -riv [parentdir]"
It will descend and ask for confirmation before deletion of each file. I had no problems removing the testfile....

$ rm -riv test
rm: descend into directory `test'? y
removing all entries of directory test
rm: remove `test/foo'? n
rm: remove `test/foo1'? n
rm: remove `test/foo4'? n
rm: remove `test/foo2'? n
rm: remove `test/--------.---'? y
removing test/--------.---
rm: remove `test/foo3'? n
rm: remove directory `test' (might be nonempty)? n
$

HAHA, I just reread the original post, I though you just wanted to remove the file, and keep the rest of the directory..... still may come in handy for someone....

App::Prove::State::Result(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			    App::Prove::State::Result(3pm)

NAME
App::Prove::State::Result - Individual test suite results. VERSION
Version 3.25 DESCRIPTION
The "prove" command supports a "--state" option that instructs it to store persistent state across runs. This module encapsulates the results for a single test suite run. SYNOPSIS
# Re-run failed tests $ prove --state=fail,save -rbv METHODS
Class Methods "new" my $result = App::Prove::State::Result->new({ generation => $generation, tests => \%tests, }); Returns a new "App::Prove::State::Result" instance. "state_version" Returns the current version of state storage. "test_class" Returns the name of the class used for tracking individual tests. This class should either subclass from "App::Prove::State::Result::Test" or provide an identical interface. "generation" Getter/setter for the "generation" of the test suite run. The first generation is 1 (one) and subsequent generations are 2, 3, etc. "last_run_time" Getter/setter for the time of the test suite run. "tests" Returns the tests for a given generation. This is a hashref or a hash, depending on context called. The keys to the hash are the individual test names and the value is a hashref with various interesting values. Each k/v pair might resemble something like this: 't/foo.t' => { elapsed => '0.0428488254547119', gen => '7', last_pass_time => '1219328376.07815', last_result => '0', last_run_time => '1219328376.07815', last_todo => '0', mtime => '1191708862', seq => '192', total_passes => '6', } "test" my $test = $result->test('t/customer/create.t'); Returns an individual "App::Prove::State::Result::Test" instance for the given test name (usually the filename). Will return a new "App::Prove::State::Result::Test" instance if the name is not found. "test_names" Returns an list of test names, sorted by run order. "remove" $result->remove($test_name); # remove the test my $test = $result->test($test_name); # fatal error Removes a given test from results. This is a no-op if the test name is not found. "num_tests" Returns the number of tests for a given test suite result. "raw" Returns a hashref of raw results, suitable for serialization by YAML. perl v5.14.2 2012-06-05 App::Prove::State::Result(3pm)
