Perhaps you should use File::Find instead. It doesn't look you are capturing the File's name....

use File::Find;

find(\&wanted, (shift || '.'));
sub wanted 
{
    my $filename = $File::Find::name;
    print "Delete $filename? (Y/n)";
    my $answer = (<STDIN>);
    unlink $filename if $answer =~m%^Y(es)?$%i;
}

Of course, this could be made much better by adding some error checking, etc, but this seems to work just fine! :) HTH.
