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....

I have AIX 5.1
I was wondering how to remove a file name with a space in it Say {tb lsv.csv} ? When I use the {rm} command if you have a space it thinks it is a new file. So it looks for {tb} and {lsv.csv} instead of the name as a whole.
Thanks in advance

app::prove::state::result
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.
