in reply to Open files by date created

Use sort...

$datapath = "/Users/code/data";
my @allfiles = sort { -M $a <=> -M $b } <$datapath/*.*>;
foreach $item (@allfiles) {
  # parsing...
}

Actually, as I dislike unnecessary variables, I'd probably write it as:

$datapath = "/Users/code/data";
foreach (sort { -M $a <=> -M $b } <$datapath/*.*>) {
  # filename is in $_
}
