Actually, I did:

$ cat test.pl
#!/pro/bin/perl

use 5.016;
use warnings;

my $DIR = "usr";

opendir my $dh, $DIR or die "Error opening $DIR: $!";
my @files = sort { $b->[10] <=> $a->[10] }
    map {[ $_, CORE::stat "$DIR/$_" ]}
    grep !m/^\.\.?$/, readdir $dh;
closedir $dh;

use DP;DDumper $files[0];
$ ls -lrt usr
total 16
