The only thing changed in the new code is the -h to -d. I still have to replace the path names..to find and delete the files on my PC.
Here is the new code:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w

#Call Module

use File::Find;
use File::Copy;
use Getopt::Std;
getopts('d:h');


#Initialize Variables

$server='server104';
$dirl='\\\\'."$server".'\\d$';
$agedays=60;    #defaults agedays to 60


#Process arguments ([h]elp, [d]ays)

if ($opt_d){
    die "\agecmd.pl -d[days to age]\n";
}

if ($opt_d){
    if ($opt_d gt 9){    #tests for strings
        die "Error: days option must be a number.  Use agecmd.pl -d[da
+ys to age]\n";
    }
        else{
            $agedays=$opt_d;
        }
}


#Do date calculations

@xtime=localtime(time);
$day=$xtime[3]+1;
$month=$xtime[4]+1;
$year=$xtime[5]+1900;
$hours=$xtime[2];
$mins=$xtime[1];
$secs=$xtime[0];
$logname='//server1/d$/'."ftp$month$day$year$hours$mins$secs".'.log';

$agesecs=60*60*24*$agedays;    #converts $agedays to seconds
$daysago=time-$agesecs;        #the time stamp of $agedays ago in seco
+nds
$daysago2=localtime($daysago);    #the time stamp of $agedays ago in w
+ords - mainly for printing


#Find the files (no dir) on the server

print "finding files to be aged\.\.\.\n";
find(\$wanted, $dirl);

sub wanted {
    $filesecs = (stat("$File::Find::dir/$_"))[9];    #Gets the 9th ele
+ment of file stat -                                                  
+       

# the modified time
    $filesecs2=localtime($filesecs);
    if ($filesecs<$daysago && -f){        #-f=regular files, eliminate
+ DIR p.367
        push (@files,"$File::Find::dir/$_");
        push (@files,"$filesecs2");
    }
    print'.';
}


#replace '/' with '\' in file names

foreach (@files){
    s/\//\\/g;
}


#Write to Log

%filehash=@files;    #puts the array into a hash for easy printing. Ke
+y=file, Value=date
open OUT, ">$logname" or die "Cannot open $OUT for write :$!";
print OUT "FTP server aging log generated by PERL script\n";
print OUT "Script written by Ozzy on 4/18/00\n";
print OUT "Files deleted from \\\\$server on ".localtime(time)."\n";
print OUT "Files deleted before $daysago2\n";
print OUT "Files were aged $agedays days\n\n";
print OUT "File Listing:\n\n";
foreach $filename (sort keys %filehash){
    print OUT "filename    $filehash{$filename}\n";
}
close OUT;


#Delete files

print "\nDeleting all files before $daysago2";
#unlink $filehash;
print "\nScript complete.";
