Hi. Maybe you can incorporate something like this: 
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use feature 'say';
use DateTime;

my $date_in = "myfile-b2291ce2b21d1cf6f6af68bd3e355505-20120112T115534
+";

my ($year, $month, $day ) = $date_in =~ m| myfile- .* - ( \d{4} ) ( \d
+{2} ) ( \d{2} ) T \d{6} |x;

my $now = DateTime->now;
my $record = DateTime->new(
    year  => $year,
    month => $month,
    day   => $day,
);

my $duration = $now->delta_days($record)->in_units('days');

#just reporting stuff to make sure all is well
say "Now is:         $now";
say "The record was: $record";
say "The record is $duration days old...";
say "Too old!" if $duration > 30;

The output:

Now is:         2012-06-22T01:55:10
The record was: 2012-01-12T00:00:00
The record is 162 days old...
Too old!
