Hey Monks,

I can't seem to find what is wrong with this script, 
use strict;

my $data = "C:\\dir";

opendir DIR, $data;
my @file = grep {/^APPL_RMKS_RCV.200309.*$/ } readdir DIR;
closedir DIR;

#This produces a screen printout of a number of files in the directory
+ with filenames matching the initial search
print @file;

unlink @file or die "$!";

[download]

The error I am getting is "No such file or directory." I know that I have the correct filenames, because of the print @file. I've tried doing it one file at a time in a for loop getting individual filenames in the array, with the same result. Any ideas? Thanks.
