utils_rm.pl
This tool is intended to aid in removing large quantities of files. The idea is that the UNIX command line is a little too short in that it is a problem if you want to remove thousands of files in a single stroke of an "rm" command. The idea is to feed this command with a standard input where every line is a name of a file to be removed and this command will do it. This should be faster than running a lot of rm's since it doesnt load the rm binary and run a different process for each rm. This is just a peep hole to the rmmult function in Meta::Utils::File::Remove. See that functions documentation for more details about the inner workings of this.
