If you are going to be modifying directory names, I suggest you read "perldoc File::Find" and search for the section "finddepth", here is a start at it. 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use File::Find;

$|++;
my $path = '.';
finddepth (\&wanted,$path);

sub wanted {
  return unless -d; #-d for dir ops -f for files or comment out for bo
+th 
  return $File::Find::prune = 1 if   $File::Find::name eq '.';
  print "$_\n";
  print "$File::Find::name\n";
 }

__END__
