I have to telnet into a server and delete the following directory structure(e*Gate Intelligent Qs) under iq...

I have not been successful in accomplishing this. In my script, once I have navigated to the correct directory I tried

$ftp->rmdir("/ep005/egate/client/iq/$folders");
$ftp->delete("/ep005/egate/client/iq/{*}");
system("rm -r {*}");
system("rm -r *");

I pull in a list of the items into an array, sort the list then I tried running any of the statements above and neither seem to work. When I telnet manually into the server I can run this command to delete the structures

rm -r {*}

Here is the codeuse File::glob; use strict; use Net::FTP; use File::Copy; use File::Path; use File::Remove; my $host_disco = "censored"; my $user_disco = "censored"; my $password_disco = "censored"; my $ftp_disco = ""; my $dir = "/"; my $diriq_disco = "/ep005/egate/client/iq"; my @iqfiles_disco = ""; my $file1 = ""; my @iqfolder_arr = ""; my $folder = ""; my $iqfolder = ""; my $folder1 = ""; my $count = 0; #------------------------- $ftp_disco = Net::FTP->new($host_disco) or die "Can't open $host_disco: $@\n[/url]";
$ftp_disco->login($user_disco, $password_disco) or die "Couldn't login: @{[ $ftp_disco->message ]}";
$ftp_disco->ascii();
$ftp_disco->cwd($dir) or die "Couldn't cwd to $dir: @{[ $ftp_disco->message ]}\n";
$ftp_disco->cwd($diriq_disco) or die "Couldn't cwd to $diriq_disco: @{[ $ftp_disco->message ]}\n";

@iqfolder_arr = $ftp_disco->ls;
foreach $folder1 (@iqfolder_arr)
{

$iqfolder_arr[$count] =~ s/ //g;
$iqfolder_arr[$count] =~ s/\n//g;
$count++ }

foreach $folder (@iqfolder_arr)
{
my $dirpath = '/ep005/egate/client/iq/';
$dirpath .= $folder;
print($dirpath);
$ftp_disco->rmdir($dirpath) || die "FTP Message> @{[ $ftp_disco->message ]}\n";

}
$ftp_disco->close();
$file1 = "";
sleep(2);
print("Disco IQs have been cleared.\n");

Seems like I have the right idea and the correct methods maybe but I am not sure if maybe the folder that I am trying to remove maybe causing the problem because of the "{}" brackets. I tried using an asterick too but to no avail.
