A Date::Calc solution (including a regex of your filename): 
my $filename = "050927104522.log";
use Date::Calc qw/Add_Delta_DHMS Today_and_Now Delta_YMDHMS/;
my @thirtyMinAgo = Add_Delta_DHMS(Today_and_Now, 0,0,-30,0);  # (Y,M,D
+,H,M,S)
if($filename =~ /(\d{12})\.log/ ){
  my @fileDateTime = $1 =~ m/\d\d/g;   # Break into the (Y,M,D,H,M,S) 
+format
  $fileDateTime[0] += 2000;   # convert from YY to YYYY
  if( Delta_YMDHMS(@fileDateTime, @thirtyMinAgo) >= 0 ){
    # fileDateTime is on or before thirtyMinAgo
  }
}
