I have 2 files that resists all efforts to delete them.

Here are the files and the error message:
rm: local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/mach/Sys/Hostname.pm: Operation not permitted
rm: local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/mach/Sys/Syslog.pm: Operation not permitted

Make sure the files do not have the system immutable flag set:

# chflags noschg local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/mach/Sys/Hostname.pm
# chflags noschg local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/mach/Sys/Syslog.pm

...and then see if you can't delete them. I don't know why the flag would 
be set, but it's something to try.

HTH.
