In the first example glob() is in list context which returns a list of file
names but in the second example glob() is in scalar context which returns only
one file name. You probably want something like this:
for my $file ( glob '/usr/local/billmax/html/images/day-0020a6-5a9bfc*' ) {
unlink $file or warn "Cannot unlink '$file' $!";
}
