File::Find in combination with File::Path is the route I would take here... it gives you a lot more flexibility. You can also restrict File::Find to just go down a specified depth to prevent a full recursion of all the subfolders. 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;
use File::Find;
use File::Path qw(make_path remove_tree);

my $path="/opt/ssi/www/shop_templates/cache";
find(\&audit, $path);

sub audit {
# your logic for which paths you want to keep/toss.  
# in here, the following apply:
#    $File::Find::dir  = /opt/ssi/www/shop_templates/cache
#    $_                = foo.ext
#    $File::Find::name = /opt/ssi/www/shop_templates/cache/foo.ext
...
}
