What have you tried? Have you written any code? Effort is appreciated - see How (Not) To Ask A Question.

You can check how old a file is using the -M function. You can get the contents of your directory using the set opendir, readdir, and closedir, where there is an example at readdir.

There are large number of email modules freely available on CPAN - one useful search term would be email. Email::Sender::Simple, for example, may do what you want.

Update: Note toolic's comment below regarding units. -M does return in units of days, but in decimal days. A simple conversion factor of 24 is all that is required.
