I know the directory where the files I want to delete are stored. I know the

pass the directory to unlink without success. The directory does have a
space in it (I am not sure if that matters).
I have had success with a more verbose "open directory, grep files, close directory, unlink files" but I was trying to be more concise (and learn 'unlink' in the process).
perldoc -f unlink
Note: "unlink" will not delete directories unless you are superuser and the -U flag is supplied to Perl.
Though in that case there is the mighty handy, File::Path, specifically rmtree().
