Okay.. this is the script I whipped up: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use File::stat;
use Time::localtime;

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

chdir( "/home/sscripts/public_html/kage/" );
local( @files ) = <*.zip>;
foreach $file( @files ) {
if( !-d $file ) {
$date = ctime( stat( $file ) -> mtime);
print "$file $date<br>\n";
}
}

#unlink @files;
#Use that (somehwat) to delete the ones
#that have been existant for more than
#48 hours...

I want it to first, forget about a file called blahblah.zip, so it doesn't even see that file, then I want it to delet all files older then 48 hours... this script is going to be put on a Cron so no need to worry about the autorun part. the way it displays files is as follows: 
geh.zip Mon Nov 12 04:03:24 2001
htrw5u.zip Mon Nov 12 06:17:29 2001
bht5iw354uy.zip Mon Nov 12 04:35:26 2001
hy543yyr.zip Sun Nov 11 21:05:06 2001
htrswu6.zip Mon Nov 12 06:21:15 2001
htre6iu.zip Mon Nov 12 06:16:14 2001
h653hhtr.zip Mon Nov 12 04:55:10 2001
ht5ewu675.zip Mon Nov 12 06:17:13 2001
blahblah.zip Mon Nov 12 04:21:26 2001
remember.. I want it to completely disreguard blahblah.zip and NOT del
+ete it, no matter what it's age..
