Greetings Monks,

I am trying to write a code that would take next 5 files, and a previous according to the hour. My files are in

file_00.txt, file_01.txt , file_02.txt, file_03.txt

naming convention ( file_HOUR.txt ). If the Hour is 0 ( i.e midnight) i need to take file_23.txt, file_00.txt, file_01.txt, file_02.txt, file_03.txt, file_04.txt. - and accordingly for subsequent hours. But i am kind of stuck of putting up this logic, my so far code is 

use Data::Dumper;
@array_time=localtime;
if ( $array_time[2] == 0 ) {
   print "Now the time is |$array_time[2]|..\n";
   $firstFile = "file_"."23.txt";
   print "First File will be |$firstFile|\n";
}

pointers to this is greatly helpful.

Thanks
