In the spirit of TMTOWTDI, here's a quick script that doesn't require any modules other than strict: 
use strict;

my $dir = "/home/sscripts/public_html/kage/";
my %ignore = ( 'blahblah.zip' => 1 );
my $seconds = 60 * 60 * 48;
my $now = time();

print ("Content-type: text/html\n\n");

opendir ITEMS, $dir;
my @files = grep !/^\./, readdir ITEMS;
closedir ITEMS;
chomp @files;

chdir $dir;

foreach my $file ( @files ) {
    if ( -d $file || defined $ignore{$file} ) { next }
    my $mod_time = ( stat($file) )[9];
    my $when = localtime( $mod_time );
    print ("$file $when<br>\n");
    if ( $now - $seconds > $mod_time ) {
        unlink $file;
    }
}

That's my 16**(1/4) cents. HTH
