This code lists directories in the current directory, and child folders one level down. I'll leave it to you to make this delete your files ;) (btw, this is pretty much straight out of the black leopard book) 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Cwd;
sub ScanDirectory{
        my ($workdir) = shift;
        my ($depth) = shift;  
        $depth++;
        my ($startdir) = &cwd;
        chdir($workdir) or die;
        opendir(DIR, ".") or die;
        my @names = readdir(DIR) or die;
        closedir(DIR);
        foreach my $name (@names) {
                next if ($name eq ".");
                next if ($name eq "..");
                        if (-d $name) { 
                                print &cwd."/".$name."\n";
                                &ScanDirectory($name, $depth) if $dept
+h <= 1;
                                next;
                        }
        }
        chdir($startdir);
}
&ScanDirectory(".",0);
