Dear Monks and Dudes...

I am trying to calculate the age of a log file. e.g.

The log file name will be in the format of 050927104522.log which is yymmddhhmmss.log

I need to check each log file and make sure that it is never 30 minutes old againts current date/time.

Explain:
Current datetime: 050927105522
List of log file: 050927104522.log,050927104222.log, 050927102022.log, 050927100000.log
Log file which is > 30 minutes old: 050927102022.log, 050927100000.log
(I need to remove those >30 minutes old)

I have a code (by pg) which gets current datetime and calculate the next 30 minutes 

my $offset = 30;

display(reverse((localtime(time()))[0 .. 5]));
display(reverse((localtime(time() + 60 * $offset))[0 .. 5]));


sub display {
        my @t = @_;
        printf("%d%02d%02d%02d%02d%02d\n", $t[0] + 1900, $t[1] + 1, @t
+[2 .. 5]);
}

How do i come about with this code where i can get the date from the log file name and add 30 minutes to it and compare againts the current date?

Cheers
