Here is a recursive subroutine I use on Windows and Linux:
zapfile ($subdir);

sub zapfile {

   my ($file) = shift;
   print "Removing $file...\n";
   
   if (-d $file) {
       opendir(my $dh, $file) or die "Unable to open $file: $!";
       
       while (my $name = readdir($dh)) {
          next if $name eq '.' or $name eq '..';
          
          # Recursive call!
          zapfile ("$file/$name");
       }
       closedir $dh;
       rmdir ($file) or die "Unable to rmdir $file: $!";
   }
   else {
       unlink $file or die "Unable to remove $file: $!";
   }

}
