Crafty automatic file deletion?

   Of course now you have to write the latter program.
   A good language to write it in would be perl.

If maybe-remove is written in perl, then it is ridiculous to do the
find in a separate process, since the perl can do it in the same
process as the maybe-remove stuff.

Doesn't the perl distribution come with "find2perl" or something like
that?
