Find a File in a directory

qsl has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks,
I am having one directory and have to find if the file is created in the specified time of today.I know that
find . -mtime 1 -print will give all the files modified by today.I want to find a file in the specified time of today.

Eg.if current time is 17:34 , I want to check if a file is created in 17:32 or not.How i can do that??
Thanks.

In addition to borisz's hints, you want to look at File::Find, and possibly File::Find::Rule. Depending on your actual task, opendir and readdir might be another approach.	[reply]

if you come up with the equivalent `find` command line, you can use find2perl to translate it to perl	[reply] [d/l]
