Delete empty directories recursively - HP-UX

Hi,
I want to delete all empty directories in a long directore tree structure. I want to use that from a script that will run on HP-UX 11. My definition of empty directory is that there is no regular file under it and directly beneath it. To elaborate, I have below directories.
/app/dev/java
/app/dev/java/src/
/app/dev/java/env
/app/dev/java/param
/app/dev/java/src/logger

There are two files -- ciim.dat at /app/dev/java/env and log.config under /app/dev/java/src/logger.
The scipt should delete only /app/dev/java/param and none else. This directory does not contain any file directly beneath it.
I could not make much progress searching on the web. Can you please help me ?
Thanks.
