tried it... 
 print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
 opendir(FILES,"$SAVE_DIRECTORY");
   #@allfiles = sort(grep(!/^\.\.?$/,readdir(FILES)));
     @allfiles = sort { (stat $a)[9] <=> (stat $b)[9] } (grep(!/^\.\.?
+$/,readdir(FILES)));
 closedir(FILES);
   foreach$file(@allfiles) {
      #print "<a href=\"/apply/$file\">$file</a><br>\n";
      print "<a href=\"/apply/$file\">$file</a>" . (stat $file)[9] . "
+<br>\n";
   }
exit;
