I use this script to remove hidden files (created by Mac OS X) from my USB Pendrive, where I usually use it to listen music in the car, and any file ending with ".mp3", even when it starts with "._", will be listed in the car audio list.

#!/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use File::Find qw(find);

sub list_dirs {
        my @dirs = @_;
        my @files;
        find({ wanted => sub { push @files, $_ } , no_chdir => 1 }, @dirs);
        return @files;
}

if ( ! @ARGV || !$ARGV[0] ) {
  print "** Invalid dir!\n";
  exit ;
}


if ( $ARGV[0] !~ /\/Volumes\/\w/s ) {
  print "** Dir should be at /Volume/... > $ARGV[0]\n";
  exit ;
}

my @paths = list_dirs($ARGV[0]) ;

foreach my $file (@paths) {
  my ($filename) = ( $file =~ /([^\\\/]+)$/s ) ;

  if ($filename =~ /^\._/s ) {
    unlink $file ;
    print "rm> $file\n" ;
  }
}
