Use Perl:

  unlink '/var/www/images/file.png';

Use Perl:

  chmod 0777, '/var/www/images/file.png';

What happens when two users try to access your CGI script simultaneously?

You could include something unique in your filename, like this:

  my $filename = '/var/www/images/' . $$ . time() . 'png';

A better solution: call your own CGI script with some parameter that
makes it output the raw PNG data and use that URL in the <img>-tag.
Then you won't have to worry about creating files on the server at all.
