There are many ways you can go about this. A very quick way is to use the find2perl command to create a script that you can the modify to your heart's content to do exactly what you want it to do.

For instnace I run: 

unixprompt> mydir=/www/stage/sites/MyCompany/docs/systems/foo/document
+ation
unixprompt> find2perl $mydir -depth -type d -print > myscript

Now you will have a script called "myscript" that looks like: 

#! /usr/bin/perl -w
    eval 'exec /usr/bin/perl -S $0 ${1+"$@"}'
        if 0; #$running_under_some_shell
 
use strict;
use File::Find ();
 
# Set the variable $File::Find::dont_use_nlink if you're using AFS,
# since AFS cheats.
 
# for the convenience of &wanted calls, including -eval statements:
use vars qw/*name *dir *prune/;
*name   = *File::Find::name;
*dir    = *File::Find::dir;
*prune  = *File::Find::prune;
 
sub wanted;
 
 
 
# Traverse desired filesystems
File::Find::finddepth({wanted => \&wanted}, '/www/stage/sites/MyCompan
+y/docs/systems/foo/documentation');
exit;
 
 
sub wanted {
    my ($dev,$ino,$mode,$nlink,$uid,$gid);
 
    (($dev,$ino,$mode,$nlink,$uid,$gid) = lstat($_)) &&
    -d _ &&
    print("$name\n");
}

Now you can take and modify where it says "print" under the sub "wanted" and make it do whatever you want.

You could also handroll all this instead of cheating and using find2perl....
