Hello Monks I, a newby at PERL, have been given the task of debugging some PERL code. Although I've been told that this is improbable, the nay-sayers have probably not heard of the Monks. Therefore, I submit to you the following: 
sub GetInfDataFiles {
    my ($path) = @_;
    my ($currpath, $age, $filea, $fileb, @allfiles, @list);

    $currpath = cwd();
    chdir $path;

    $age = -7;                                                


    @allfiles = `find .. -name "r*" -type f -mtime $age`;
    chomp( @allfiles );
    foreach (@allfiles) {
       chomp();                                               
       s/\.\///;                                              
    }

    
    @list = sort { (-M "$path/$b") <=> (-M "$path/$a") } @allfiles;

    chdir $currpath;
print ( "@list" );
    return @list;
} # GetInfDataFiles()

The error returned states "Use of uninitialized value" on the "@list = sort" line. Can you make some suggestions? I know that this object is dealing with passed variables ($path), and this seems to be OK; perhaps you could inform as to the expectations that PERL has? Thx PH
