Isn't that the same as
rm home/*/.forward
Neither of which would necessarily work if /home were an automount point, as "*" won't expand (and if it did, could have > 15000 matches in at least one case I know of, which is why you wouldn't want it to expand).
The real question the OP should be asking himself is why such a task is running as nobody anyway. It is not a task an anonymous account should be doing at all. i.e. the answer is to start somewhere else, earlier in the chain for a solution - by the time "nobody" is involved it's too late.
But it's definitely nothing to do with Perl.
