[rt-users] removing deleted tickets

This script is interesting.   I'm not a perl programmer but I'm wondering if it can be modified to delete ALL tickets from ALL queues so RT would start assigning tickets with #1 again.  If it is, how would I go about it?  If there is a script like this already available, please lead me to one.   
 
Thanks!

mine is attached. It works for RT 3 upto 3.0.9. You need to change the
first line to the pah of your perl binary.
