Re^3: Intermittent bug in module: File not getting deleted as expected

[nysus]

By the way, the time value appears to always be the same: -1.15740740740741e-05

Interestingly, that appears to be exactly 1 second. But why is it negative?

That, I'm unsure of. From perldoc -f -X:

-M  Script start time minus file modification time, in days.

Does File::Spec->catfile() modify the file mod time by chance? What happens if you put a two second delay in between that line (in the lib), and the unlink() call? Does that improve things? I know that's definitely not optimal, but it would be worth a shot especially if you can reliably reproduce the issue locally.
