Hello fellow monks,

I am trying to add files to the newest zip file in a directory. But if the newest zip file contains files more than 3 months long, I create a new zip file and store my files in the new zip file.

So this is what I am doing now to find the newest zip file in the directory: 


#finding the newest .zip file in the directory
my $zipFile = reduce {(stat $a)[10] > (stat $b)[10] ? $a : $b} glob Fi
+le::Spec->catfile($dir, '*.zip');

[download]

Could you please tell me how I can open up a zip file and check if the difference between the oldest file and the newest file in there is equal to or less than 3 months old?

Thank you.
