Here is one way, there are probably more elegant ways out there:
opendir DIR,"/home/path/to/dir";
@list = readdir DIR;
foreach $file (@list) {
unlink $file if $file =~ m/\.bak$/;
}
closedir DIR;

You're unlink() statement is correct and should work fine. What errors, if

Another way ...
opendir REMOVEIT, $dir or die "Open Failed";
my @gone = grep /\.bak$/ , map "$dir/$_". readdir REMOVEIT;
closedir REMOVEIT;
print "Remove ", join(',', @gone), "? :";
my $cnt;
if (<> =~ /y/i) {
$cnt = unlink @gone;
print "Removed $cnt files from $dir ending in .bak\n" if (
