I should have included a return code check:

perl -e 'unlink("goo/foo") or die $!'

dz@w2 ~
$ perl -e 'unlink("goo/foo") or die $!'

dz@w2 ~
$ echo $?
0

dz@w2 ~
$ ls -la goo
total 0
drwxr-xr-x+  2 dz         mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 13 14:47 .
drwxrwx---+ 25 Administrators SYSTEM      0 Jan 13 14:46 ..
-r--------   1 dz         mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 13 14:47 foo

Any luck on the BLODA front?
