Guys,

Thx for both of those. I decided to go with Zaxo because it's simpler and works down the page (I think).
However, it's complaining about the curr/parent dir files (., ..) which i tried to fix, but I'm not good with these nested code layouts.
I tried: 

@t_arr =
        grep {
          grep { $_ !~ /^\./ }
            $var3 = (split /[_.]/)[2];
            $var3 > $var1 and $var3 <= $var2;
            }
         readdir(EVT_DIR);

and a couple of variations, but still get warnings: 
Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at ./t.pl line 341.
Use of uninitialized value in numeric gt (>) at ./t.pl line 345.
Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at ./t.pl line 341.
Use of uninitialized value in numeric gt (>) at ./t.pl line 345.

I also need to ignore any dirs that exist.
Any chance of the correct code?
Guess I need a tutorial article on nested code blocks (if that's the correct description)

Cheers
Chris
