What am I missing? I want to remove all the files on a volume that are older than 30 days. The first step is to find them. In sh I say:

find /backup -mtime +30

In perl I say:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
my $dir = $ARGV[0];
my $thirty_days_ago = time() - ( 30 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 60 );
my @files;
use File::Find;

find( \&wanted, $dir );

sub wanted {
    my @stats = ();

    # ignore symlinks
    if ( !-l $_ ) {
        @stats = stat($_) or warn "couldn't stat $_\n";
    }

    # 9 is mtime;
    if ( !-l $_ && $stats[9] < $thirty_days_ago ) {
        push @files, "${File::Find::dir}/$_";
    }
}

print join ( "\n", @files ), "\n";
