Hi, inside an ftp session i need to know if a file has arrive in the last hour, if not then send an email. the olders files on the remote server does'nt matter.

     for $file ($ftp->ls){
             push @files, $file;
     }

     for $file (@files) {
       $localtimenoformat=time;
       $mdtmnoformat=$ftp->mdtm($file);

    unless ( ($localtimenoformat - $mdtmnoformat) > 3600 ) {
       print "$file";
       print "Localtime No Format =  $localtimenoformat";
       print "MDTM      No Format =  $mdtmnoformat\n";
      }
     envia_mail ();
     }
     $ftp->quit or die $ftp->message;

this print me the new files. this is not what i want, beside this evaluate all the files. In short terms. if no file in the last hour send a mail. I'll appreciate if you point me to clear the idea
