you can delete it, but when you refresh it will be there again. It holds jsut basic information and if you run a lot of perl or python scripts / modules, that directory will house it. hope that helps...
so why does it pop up again after i delete it? It's not a huge deal, but i feel like it's cluttering up my tidy webserver
Rather than delete it, read up on it. You might be surprized how tidy your webserver could be if you were utilizing that directory.
