SPUG: scanning directories

Ok.. I'm having a problem deleting files. I have tried:
$oldfile="../html/wrt_archive/weekly_archive/*to$twodaysback*\.*";
if ($week_day !~ /Mon/)
{
print "$oldfile\n";
rm ($oldfile) || warn "having trouble deleting
$oldfile: $!";
}
I have also tried:
$oldfile="../html/wrt_archive/weekly_archive/*to$twodaysback*\.*";
if ($week_day !~ /Mon/)
{
unlink <$oldfile> || warn "having trouble deleting
$oldfile: $!";
}
I keep getting an error saying it can not find the file(s).
I can run rm ../html/wrt_archive/weekly_archive/*to$twodaysback*\.* from the
command line and it will work.
What am I doing wrong?

Do you possibly need to escape the '/' characters? i.e.
$portal{BASEDIR} = "\/\/machinename\/sharedirectory";
