Use  while() to repeat the search until all is done:

 perl -e '$a = "abcde{BS}{BS}f"; while($a =~ s/.{BS}//) {}; print $a;'

    Try this with these 
    abcde{BS}{BS}{BS}{BS}{BS}{BS}f
{BS}{BS}abcde{BS}{BS}{BS}{BS}{BS}c{BS}fat
A{B}{BS}S}bout

    [download]
    It should output: 
    f
fat
A{BS}bout
