As for the language choice, my first thought is +1 for perl over shell,
mainly because it might be directly useful to people on Windows while
shell never would be.  On the other hand, if it's possible to do a
useful one-liner in shell then let's do it that way.

I don't think it is, reasonably. But here is fairly minimal version that might suit the docs:

   use strict;
   my ($dir, $num) = @ARGV;
   foreach my $file (glob("$dir/*"))
   {
           my $name = basename($file);
           unlink $file if (-f $file && $name =~ /^[0-9A-Z]{24}$/ && $name lt 
$num);
   }
