First, set up a list of directories.

$f->cwd($dir) or die "Can't cwd to $dir\n";
Next, instead of dieing in case of inability to CWD, switch to the next list element in a foreach loop.

For example:

my @directories = qw/code test/; foreach my $dir (@directories) { $f->cwd("/home/$dir") || next ... # your code to fetch the files }

Sorry if my advice was wrong.
