I bet you don't supply the full path to the file you are trying
to delete.
my $dir = "dir/foo";
opendir(DIR, $dir);
foreach my $file ( readdir DIR ) {
unlink "$dir/$file";
}
As to the dates of files:
- -M Age of file in days when script started.
- -A Same for access time.
- -C Same for inode change time.
You use it like this:
my $m_time = -M "$dir/$file";
But you can also use the stat command. But remember to give
a correct path to the file or else it will obviously not
work :-)
As a note, I still do this error all the time :-)

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).

are good places to start.
