Hello, I want to figure out if a file's creation date is in between a certain range of time. For example let's say that I only want files that were created between June 1, 2011 and June 1, 2012. So far I have the time created but do not know how to proceed. Here is my code: 
#!usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use File::stat;

my @files= <>; # Slurp list of files given in a file in cmd line
foreach( @files ) { 
    print;
    chomp;
    my($month, $year) = ( localtime( stat($_)->ctime ) )[4,5];
    $year += 1900;
    print "$month $year\n";
    # if $month, $year are within June 2011 and June 2012 do something
}

I've been Googling this but haven't gotten a straight answer or I am just confused. If anyone can nudge me in the right direction, it would be great. Thank you.
