Use Getopt::Long to get the user to enter command line options, i.e. the path. 
use Getopt::Long;

my %opt = ();
            GetOptions(
               \%opt,
               #general file path
               "path=s",
                        #file name
                 "file=s",
              );
my $path = $opt{path};
my $file = $opt{file};

Then, use concatenation to join the $path with the file name! 
my $fullFile = $path . $file;
unlink($fullFile) or die "$!\n";

Or if we're dealing with an array of files in the same dir : 

foreach my $arrayFile(@array) {
  my $fullFile = $path . $arrayFile;
  unlink($fullFile) or die "$!\n";
  }
