have not heard of unlink. Refer to the CLT manual, there is another CLT for the purpose

How are you invoking it ? unlink is a command not a perl script.

unlink $file;

Could you please provide a snippet of your code... where you have written unlink along with the path of the file being passed to it as a param?

The error message would imply that your external script cannot be found. Run the workflow in debug mode and cut & paste your command to server session.

It would really help to see the code - but it sounds like you've put back-quotes around the word unlink in your code - and so Perl is trying to execute a program called unlink instead of using the built-in function.
