Hi, I have made a symlink with the cygwin command ln -s and i wanted to remove 
it by Perl code:
I have this:
$PROG2 = "C:\\cygwin\\bootp\\linux\\install ";
if (-l $PROG2)
{

 	system "rm $PROG2";

 }
 else{
 print "popo";
 }
 
The problem is that the symlink install it isn't removed althought it is present 
with ls -l in the good directory?
Why?
I tested my rm command by hand and it works it seems -l not working.
Thanks.
