opendir DIR,$dir || die "Couldn't open '$dir': $!";
For the main point of your code, I think it's excellent
the way that you've used sort() on stat() .
But, I hope it's helpful to point out that the
opendir() statement is broken, as it was written at
the time of my response, because it tests $dir for Truth rather than
opendir() , and that's not what you want.
To use the perlop '||' with opendir() the parentheses
are not optional. Otherwise, use or which is
more reliable in statements such as open() and opendir() , because
the precedence of or is so low that it doesn't even require
those pesky parentheses.
(deleted my own bad -here)
But, as I said, this is a small tweak that shouldn't take away
from what seems to me otherwise to be a good idea.

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).
