Monks,
I am working on a task to parse the logfiles which are in side the latest directories.
Bellow is the code i have written to open the latest logfile,for this i predeclared the path to get the directory list. 
#!/usr/bin/perl
$arg=$ARGV[0];
$pattern="build.log";
$path="/remote/scm/rsync/builds/$arg/FailedInformal";
#print "$path\n";
@releases=`ls -1 $path`;
#print "@releases\n";
$x=0;
foreach $file(@releases)
{
  if($file=~/^\d/)
  {
   $dlist[$x]=$file;
  }
$x++;
}
   #print "@dlist\n";
   @three=@dlist[-1,-2,-3];
   #print "@three\n";
   $latest=$three[0];
   print "$latest\n";
   $path1="$path/$latest";
   print "$path1\n";
   @logs=`ls $path1`;
   #print "@logs\n";
   #print "$logs[1]\n";
   #print "$path1/@logs[1]";
   $p=
   open(F,"$path1/build.log")or die "$!\n";
   while(<F>) {
   chomp;
   print "$_\n";
   }
