I don’t know of any reason why unlink should fail under Linux, and in any case, from the fact that there is no error message (i.e., die is not called), it seems unlikely that unlink is the problem. Try running something like this:
for ( <grm_backup-*_*_*_*_*_*_EST_*.bak>,
<backup_db-*_*_*_*_*_*_EST_*.bak> )
{
printf "File '%s' was last modified %d days ago\n", $_, -M;
}
to verify that there are files meeting the criterion for deletion.
Note also that the until loop is doing nothing. It is equivalent to:
while ($log_written == 0)
{
...
$log_written = 1;
}
which guarantees that there will only ever be a single pass.
Hope that helps,

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
