From a brief glance you should be able to use Data::AMF, but the
documentation is verging on non-existent: I spent 15 minutes staring
at it and decided it was far too much like hard work.
Instead, try this:
http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/utils/amf
It's in Ruby - though I'm more a Perl hacker than a Ruby one, I had
the Ruby AMF code written for Potlatch, so figured it would be easier
to reuse this. You'll need to install the httpclient and stringio
libraries ('gem install httpclient' etc.). Lots of the amf encoding/
decoding logic is in the script rather than the library, which is
clearly a bad thing - I just felt like quickly hacking up something
that worked.
Edit amf_finddeleted.rb so the bbox is what you want, then just:
ruby amf_finddeleted.rb
It'll fetch the deleted ways in Potlatch's array format, which is
documented in amf_finddeleted.rb (lines 65-70). You could either
process it further in Ruby, or copy-and-paste to do something in
Perl, or use YAML to interchange between the two - whatever.

Well, it's in the main Rails codebase intentionally so someone could
do that, but I'm not comfortable enough with XML to do it myself. If
it were to happen, probably better to wait until after API 0.6
anyway, because I'm slightly rewriting it as part of that.
