There are various modules on CPAN that will help you a great deal.

With Tree::DAG_Node for instance you can traverse the tree, running methods or simply and safely pruning and splicing the leaves and branches of your tree as you go along.

Untested...

my @leaves = ();
$root->walk_down('callback' =>
  sub {
    if (!scalar($_[0]->daughters))  # is it a leaf?
      push @leaves, $_[0];
    return 1;
  }
$root->add_daughters(@leaves);

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
