Shelling out for file lists is pretty inelegant. Built-in glob can handle that,

my @ll = map {
    (glob "$path/$_")[0]
} qw/*B1006* *B1106-* *B11062*/;

You can dispense with the index $next by pushing elements onto the arrays. Your regex can be dressed up a little with quantifiers and built-in character classes.

my (@stamp, @name);

foreach (@ll) {
    if (m#([A-Z][a-z]{2}\s\d{2}\s\d{2}:\d{2})\s(/.+\.+Z)$#) {
        push @stamp, $1;
        push @name,  $2;
    }
}

The if is necessary. Without it, you don't know that $1 and $2 are fresh. I added an end-anchoring $ to ensure .Z but not .Zoo files.

I left off printing until they can happen in one discrete block.

for (0..#$stamp) {
    printf "\$name[$_]:\t%s\n\$stamp[$_]:\t%s\n\n",
        $name[$_], $stamp[$_];
}

Update: Woops, japhy++ spotted a feature I completely overlooked. That simplifies everything, and makes the regex completely unnecessary. With the above @ll is @name. New version, minus printing:

my @name = map {
    (glob "$path/$_")[0]
} qw/*B1006*.Z *B1106-*.Z *B11062*.Z/;

my @stamp = map { scalar localtime( (stat)[9]) } @name;

That retains $path in the names, but those can be trimmed if you like using File::Basename.

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
