O'Dear Monks

PLEASE HELP

I have the following script 
use strict;
open (LST, "c:\\list.lst")||die "$^E : $!\n";
chomp (my @data=<LST>);
my $app_sync_dir = 'c$\program files\common files\ms sysadmin\log\Appl
+icationSynchronizer';
for (@data)
{
    my $target_dir = "\\\\".$_."\\".$app_sync_dir;
    print "$target_dir\n";
    if (-e $target_dir)
    {
        opendir (DIR, $target_dir) || warn "\n$_ : No log file was fou
+nd\n";
        chomp(my @status = readdir(DIR));
        for (@status)
        {
            next if (($_ eq '.')||($_ eq '..'));
            print "$_ : ";
            my ($dev,$ino,$mode,$nlink,$uid,$gid,$rdev,$size,$atime,$m
+time,$ctime,$blksize,$blocks) = stat( $target_dir."\\".$_);
            print "$mtime\n";            
        }    
    }
    else
    {
        print " : No ApplicationSynchronizer folder was detacted.\n"; 
+   
    }    
    print "\n************************\n";
}
close (LST);

The script obtains the date stamp of the files and displays it.

It works fine, but what I want to do is to select the most recent file. For which I am not sure how to do in simple few steps (I suppose I can but it will be quite a long code).

So what I need is something like (below is all wrong because I don't know how to do it but it looks like something I have seen else where) 
sort{$a <=>comp <=> $b} #this is wron but it looks like something I ha
+ve seen

Can somebody please enlighten me.

Thanks
