Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this. I have been working on this and it works like 1 out of 100 times. Do I need to use WIN32 or something. This is going to be ran on a Win NT Server in the future. The directories in the code are only test directories. 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

$dir = "c:/mydocu~1/Netscape/Suitespot";

print "Starting Delete Process\n";
print "\n";

opendir(DIR, "$dir") || die "No $dir: $!";
@files = grep(!/^\./, readdir(DIR));
@files = sort @files;

foreach(@files)
{
    print "$_\n";
        next if ($_ !~ /^\.log$/i);
        next if ($_ !~ /^\.\d+\w+\-\d+\wm$/i);
        next if ($_ !~ /^\.txt$/i);
        unlink "$dir/$_" || print "Unable to delete $_: $!";
}

print "\n";
print "Deleted all requested files.\n";
closedir(DIR);
