Similarly, the C<rmtree> function provides a convenient way to delete a
subtree from the directory structure, much like the Unix command C<rm -r>.

-It returns the number of files successfully deleted.
+It returns the number of files successfully deleted. Symlinks are
+treated as ordinary files.
+
+B<NOTE:> If the third parameter is not TRUE, C<rmtree> is B<unsecure>
+in the face of failure or interruption. Files and directories which
+were not deleted may be left with permissions reset to allow world
+read and write access. Note also that the occurrence of errors in
+rmtree can be determined I<only> by trapping diagnostic messages
+using C<$SIG{__WARN__}>; it is not apparent from the return value.
+Therefore, you must be extremely careful about using C<rmtree($foo,$bar,0>
+in situations where security is an issue.
