Unlink from cgitask does not delete file

TS 5.5.2 Win2K

I call Perl's unlink from a cgitask to delete a DCR created by the same cgitask. The DCR exists on the Y: drive. But I consistently get an error "No such file or directory"

I've checked the path and tried forward slashes -vs- backslashes, but neither works.

I am calling with the format

$del_cnt = unlink('$IWHOME$area$file') or debug("Cannot delete file because $!");

Don't you want IWMOUNT instead of IWHOME?

Yes, my brain cramp...I do have $IWMOUNT

Also do you have double quotes? Because variables inside single quotes are not interpeted (so you would be trying to delete a file named $IWHOME$area$file, which probably does not exist).

unlink( "$IWMOUNT$area$file" ) or debug("Cannot delete file because $!");

That was it. I put in double quotes and the file was deleted. Thanks!
