Reading Filenames into an Array

[palcrypt]

It has been a while sine I last used Perl. So I'm a little rusty. What I want to do is write a script that will read the names of all the files in a folder into an array and sort them by they're date modified property. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Take a look at the documentation for opendir and readdir. These functions will do everything you're looking for.

As far as I can find readdir will let you read the names of a file into an array, but it doesn't sort them at all. I think I can right a script using readdir I just need to know how to access a files date modified or date created property.

Take a look at the stat function. The 10th field should be what you're looking for - the modification time.
