with a little work you might be able to use find2perl, to create the shell of what you need in your script.

Also take a look at File::Path

Here is a snippet of something I use, I think I posted the complete program under Cool Uses 

sub rCopy {
    my $src = shift;
    my $dest = shift;
    $dest = $dest . ".zip";
    #print "**** $src\n";
    if( -f $src ) {  # if file  on unix also include -l from sym link
            #print "DEBUG: " . (stat($src))[9] . " - " . (stat($dest))
+[9] . "$dest\n";
        if(-f $dest && (stat($src))[9] <= (stat($dest))[9]) {
        # target file exists and in older
        print "--- Skipping file $dest\n";
        } else {
        my $zip = Archive::Zip->new();
        my $file = $zip->addFile($src);
        print "+++ Createing Zip File $dest\n";
        unless ($zip->writeToFileNamed($dest) == 0 ) { warn "--- Could
+ not create zip file\n"; };
        #print "+++Coping file $src to $dest\n\r";
        #copy $src, "$dest" || print "$!\n";
        }
    } elsif( -d $src) {
        # $src is a directory, open dir read contents.
        my ($volume,$dir,$file) = File::Spec->splitpath( $src,1 );
        if(! -d "$copy_to/$dir") {
            print "++++ Creating Dir: $copy_to/$dir\n";
            eval { mkpath (["$copy_to/$dir"]); 1} or warn "Could not c
+reate path $@\n\r";
        }
        my $dh = undef;
        opendir( $dh, $src );
        my @files = grep { (! /\.$/) } readdir($dh);
        foreach my $rSrc (@files) {
        #print "Calling rCopy($src\/$rSrc,$copy_to\/$dest\/$rSrc)\n\r"
+;
            rCopy("$src" . "/$rSrc", "$copy_to/$dir/$rSrc");
        #print "Skipping Dir: $src\n";
        }
