What warnings exactly? It should not give warnings as far as I can see. You need to be specific. There are really easy ways to do this stuff in perl. grep and glob are quite handy tools..... 

# in simple pieces
my $five_min = 5 / 60*24;   # 5 minutes as part of day for M time
my $dir = 'C:/devl/bin/timedir';
my @files_dirs = glob("$dir/*");
my @files = grep{ ! -d $_ } @files_dirs;
my @want  = grep{ ! m// and ! m// } @files;
my @old   = grep{ -M $_ > $five_min } @want;
print "$_ is > 5 minutes old\n" for @old;

# in one line:
print "$_ is > 5 minutes old\n" for grep {
    ! -d     and 
    ! m/foo/ and 
    ! m/bar/ and 
    -M > 0.0035
} glob("C:/devl/bin/timedir/*");
