Having found $9 , how do I /bin/rm it (using system()--yes??)

I gather that you are looking under /var/db/pkg...?
I'm trying to remove from packages from long ago and find and
print them with
ls -lt | awk '{if ($8 == 2006) print $9}';
but what I want to remove the file pointed at by $9. I've tried
FILE=ARGV[9]; and using FILE within my system() call, but no-joy.
What's the magic here?
You could pipe the output of awk through "| xargs rm -rf"...but be
careful.
Putting it through "pkg_delete (-f)" might be safer.
