I wrote a script a few months ago that did what you are trying...
system("rm", "$imagepath/$filename");
... but this is not the best solution, I was just faking it because I did
not know better - I would use follow Bret's advice instead - it's the "Real
McCoy".
;) - sorry

You don't need to use the system call for that -- take a look at the
File::Copy module (using your perldoc tool) and see what it offers.
