These should work fine. perldoc -f unlink has an example just like
this. You have to be in the proper directory, or include the directory
in your pattern:
unlink </path/to/files/*.dat>, </path/to/files/*.pl>;

These won't work, because you need *.dat and *.pl. This would only
remove files named exactly '.dat' and '.pl'
