Please, give us more information: Is it possible for a directory to be mentioned once with no content, but later with a file, like this?

/foo/bar/
/foo/bar/baz
[download]

Or only the "empty" directories can be listed without files. If so, you can just use

   grep { 0 != index reverse($_), '/' } @files
[download]

or

   grep !m{/$}, @files
[download]
