in thread removing files with perl based on age and name

Why shell out to stat instead of using the builtin? Why the -r and -f on the rm when you are only deleting one file at a time? Why use backticks for the rm? Why shell out to rm at all when we have unlink?

As it stands your script looks a bit too dangerous to consider running, sorry.
