Use File::Find instead. Sample below (Not the most elegant code - this is just an illustration on how it can be used). 
use File::Find;
my $ig=0;
find( {wanted=>\&del,
       bydepth=>1, 
       postprocess=>\&dirp},
     'E:\Documents and Settings\vijay\test'); 

######
sub del{
  # $ig is set to 1 if this is a DIRECTORY
  $ig==1 and return $ig=0; # Reset it
    ## Use the $ig toggle to do a REMDIR, before returning
  print  qq($_ \n); 
  ## Remove (Unlink) the $_ file here ....
}
####
sub dirp{ # Called for DIRECTORIES only
  print qq(***DIR:$File::Find::dir\n);
  $ig=1;
}
