You probably don't have permission to unlink it. Try this:

unlink( $filename ) or die "Can't unlink $filename: $!";
[download]

Oh yes, you need to specify the directory path: `unlink "$dirpath/$filename" or die "can't unlink $dirpath/$filename: $ +!";` [download] And use the "$!" part since that will give you the file-system error.
