perldoc -f readlink

Look at perldoc -f readder (and opendir) for the directory traversal (or File::Find, or your favorite way to snarf filenames). Then, for each file you could do something like: 

... stuff to get filename ..
.. loop through  those files..
for my $file (@files) {
    my $link = readlink($file) || "Fooey";

    if ($link ne "Fooey") {
        if (-e $link) {
            print "symlink OK, moving on";
        }else{
            unlink $file;
        }
    }
}

You get the idea :)
