Guys, maybe I�m unclear.
The scripts do not simply remove *all* .AppleDouble files...
(I don�t need 20 lines of Perl to do that)
They remove .AppleDouble (res forks) files with no corresponding
data fork!
These files only occur if you move or delete [data fork] files
with other programs than netatalk; f.ex: samba, bash etc...
Happens all the time in a unix/samba/netatalk environment...

...snipped more comments of why it�s dumb to remove
all of your .AppleDouble files
