In regards to an earlier question about removing a file with Perl, couldn't you just use a system call or exec?
Yes, but it would be much much much much much better to just use unlink()
perldoc -f unlink
Why shell out? Especially when theres a built in, portable method?
unlink $file or die "Couldn't unlink $file: $!";
