I have a routine that searches a directory and it's sub directories for files that are older than five days. All is working great when I use my perl program on windows or UNIX Platforms. But now I need to have an additional check that the file also starts with the letter "L" or the word "Log". Any time I add this additional check in my sub routine no files are found at all, so I have something wrong. Here is what I have that works: 
{
find (sub {my $filename = $File::Find::name;
 if ( -f $filename ) {
    my $filetime = (stat "$filename")[9];
    my ($sec, $min, $hour, $day, $month, $year) = (localtime($filetime
+))[0,1,2,3,4,5];
    if ($now - $fivedaystime > $filetime){
      my $mm = $month+1;
      my $yy = $year+1900;
      open (LOGFILE, '>>', $script_auditlog) or die "Could not open fi
+le '$script_auditlog' $!";
      print LOGFILE "$filename last modified on $mm\/$day\/$yy $hour\:
+$min\:$sec was removed.\n";
      push (@file_list, $filename);
      }     
    }
}, $pslog_directory);
close LOGFILE;
}

To accomplish what I need I was trying to do this: 
 if ( -f $filename && $filename =~ /^Log*/ )

[download]
Or I tried this: 
 if ( -f $filename && $filename =~ /^L/ )

[download]
The files in the directory that is searched look like this: 
Log.txt.20151102
Log.txt.20151103
Fsvrcom1.trc
Fsvrcom2.trc

I need to leave the files that don't start with "L" alone. Any help is greatly appreciated.
