Right.  So this is just a more cross-platform way to do

	$^X -e "unlink shift" $makefile

The only part of it that's still an issue, I think, is the $^X 
variable.  It might contain something like "/My Computer/foo/bar/perl", 
in which case I guess the shell invocation would think the command was 
"/My" with argument "Computer/foo/bar/perl".
