I'm afraid my Perl skills are a touch on the rusty side :(, but I was attempting to get a file listing of only the current directory in the same order as ls -tr, whilst still having hold of the filename in a $var.
The method I've ended up with is clunky to say the least, any improvements? 

opendir(DIRH, '.') or die "cant open $!";
my @files = grep !/^\.\.?/ && /.*pm$/, readdir DIRH;
closedir DIRH;

for (@files) {
    $file{$_} = (stat($_))[10];
}

for (reverse sort { $file{$a} cmp $file{$b} } keys %file) {
    print "value : $_ , $file{$_} \n";
}
