In this intermediate Perl automation tutorial, you will learn how to automatically remove empty files by file extension using a clean and safe Perl script. Empty files are commonly created by failed downloads, broken installers, logging errors, or interrupted processes—and they often go unnoticed.
This video covers:
How Perl detects zero-byte (empty) files
How to filter files by specific extensions
Safe deletion logic to avoid removing important data
Practical automation techniques for filesystem cleanup
This project is ideal for developers, system administrators, and scripting learners who want to improve Perl scripting skills, automate maintenance tasks, and manage files efficiently on Windows or Linux systems.
By the end of this video, you’ll have a reusable Perl automation script that can be extended with logging, dry-run mode, or scheduled execution.
