check for directory "emptiness" with ACL?

[naglists]

Hi,

I would like to throw a message when an author closes Editor if a particular
directory is not empty. Ideally, I would test and response() in ACL. Does
ACL have any native commands that will test for directory emptiness? I can't
find one and, frankly, am not sure I think it *should* be possible.

Try calling glob("your path here/*",A) where A is an empty array and see
if you get 0 back as the return from glob. One of the odder functions,
shows ACL's roots in Perl.
