Hi there Monks!
I have a report that prints a list of files showing its age using: 
  my $datetime = ctime(stat("files")->mtime);

But this list is not in descending or ascending order, the dates are all over the place and I would like to do that with this list that looks like this: 
file7 - From: Sun Jan 30 08:20:52 2011       
file4 - From: Tue Feb 1 19:07:46 2011       
file6 - From: Sun Jan 30 09:09:43 2011       
file0 - From: Fri Dec 21 07:25:10 2010       
file2 - From: Sat Jan 22 18:16:46 2011       
filef - From: Wed Feb 2 16:12:59 2011       
file13 - From: Mon Jan 31 13:46:37 2011       
file6ff - From: Tue Feb 1 07:27:06 2011       
file6 - From: Wed Feb 2 07:28:23 2010       
filee - From: Sat Jan 22 11:27:49 2011       
filec - From: Sat Jan 22 16:52:42 2011       
file2b - From: Wed Feb 2 14:28:56 2011

Has anyone here done anything like that? Thanks for looking!
