in reply to Unlink doesn't work on first file

$! says that the file or directory does not exist, even though it does.

I'm working on UNIX, specifically Solaris 5.6.

    Maybe you are not in the directory you think to be. I had this problem some years ago under WinNT with different Webservers, and tried something like the following to find out what is my actual working directory: 
    #! /usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Cwd;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Actual dir is: ", cwd;

    Hi,
    Are you sure there is no <emph>unprintable</emph> characters in the file name? I had the same problem and it turned out that, aving got the filename from a DOS file, it has a \r appended to it. It didn't show on the ls output, but was there...

    Hoping it helps...
