Perl sh Script

Hi All, I am a newbie to perl and unix sh script. Hey I facing a problem to run a command in perl...

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. my $sourceCleanCmd = "find /www/srs -name \*.jsp -exec rm {} \;";
  2. my $isSourceClean = system("$sourceCleanCmd") == 0 or die( "Can't run command $sourceCleanCmd" );
  3.  
  4. if ( $isSourceClean ) {
  5.     print "Source Clean Process Completed\n";
  6. }else {
  7.     print "Source Clean Process Failed\n";
  8. }
  9.  

The script is running well if I just "find /www/root -name \*.jsp" but when added " -exec rm {} \;" in order to delete all jsp files in root folder, the command failed. I had no clue why it failed as the command run well when I direct run it in unix. Pls help me....... Thanks in advance.

Although u can run it by hand your script can't , rights issue assuming your syntax is OK. I found out even if you own the file sometimes it cannot delete files, once
I had to chmod the files so it'd go thru
