in reply to monitor rm command ?

In the long run, you'll be better off using something like this, otherwise, do what tirwhan said. 
unlink @files or warn "wtf: $!";

    Your example wouldn't show which files are deleted. For this, you would need something like 

    for @files { unlink and push @deleted,$_ }

      Yours doesn't really show errors either... 
      for(@files) {
    if( unlink ) {
        push @deleted, $_;
    } else {
        warn "$_ doesn't want to die: $!"
    }
}

        Correct, but that was not requested by the OP ;-)
