rjsaulakh,
First, you should check out perldoc -f stat. Next, you should know that depending on the OS, it may be impossible to get the actual create date. Next, you will make your job easier if instead of using dates in the format of DD/MM/YYYY, you use epoch timestamps. You can easily convert using a simple regex and Time::Local. My advice would be to use a time of 00:00:01 for the start range and 23:59:59 for the end range. It is then a simple matter of seeing if one number (from stat) is between two other numbers.

Cheers - L~R

Update: I originally assumed that the list of candidate files was already known and you would just need to determine if each one in succession met the criteria. If that isn't the case and you need to find the files take a look at File::Find, File::Find::Rule, and File::Finder coupled with the general approach in this post.
