in reply to (OT) In Korne Shell Script - Finding modified File List after the chosen date...

This isn't a perl question, but your issue is easily fixed.

Change your find to 

find "$dir" -type -f -newermc /tmp/timestamp

[download]
the 'mc' at the end of newer means that you are looking for the last 'M'odified time compared to the 'C'reation date/time of the file you give it.
