Update: I misread the OP as NOT wanting L|Log files (I'm leaving my OP below as-is/original). RichardK's response here is the better one. He also taught me about the mtime method, so at least I learned something :) /update

Hi oldenuf2no, welcome to the PerlMonks Monastery!

File::Find::Rule will help clean up your code, the -M flag can do the check, and throw in a tiny regex to bypass files that start with L or Log and you end up with this:

use warnings;
use strict;

use File::Find::Rule;

my $dir = '.';

my @files = File::Find::Rule->file()->name('*')->in($dir);

for (@files){
    if (-M $_ > 5 && $_ !~ /^(?:L|Log)/){
        print "$_\n";
    }
}
