MidLifeXis, thanks, I did look at this and how I interpret it is that you must have something along the lines of localtime(time). For example,
find /tmp/TopLevelDir/SunDir -name 'blah.*' -maxdepth 1 | perl -ne 'chomp; unlink && print localtime(time)." $_\n" | tee -a logfile
However, when I run this from the command line I get the a prompt like:

I think I am getting closer but I must be missing something. I will keep playing around with it. | [reply] |
time() returns an integer representation of the number of seconds since the epoch. If you want a string representation of the time, then you would want scalar(localtime(time)).
Your immediate problem is that you did not close the single quote starting the perl command (should be a single quote before the | tee to match the one before the chomp).
