Let's say you want to unlink foobar.tm and you pass foobar to you DeleteFile routine. Inside that routine, $FileName first gets foobar, then .tm is added, then foobar.tm.tm is unlinked.

What I'm trying to say is, Unless your file has 2 extensions (both being .tm), you should drop that $t in the unlink line.

Oh yeah, listen to what azatoth has to say about strict and -w.

Update courtesy of Arguile: Use double quotes (as in ") instead of single quotes (as in '). The double quotes interpolate properly, the single ones use literal context.
