You are probably looking at something like this: 

#!/usr/bin/perl
                                                                      
+          
use strict;
use warnings;
                                                                      
+          
                                                                      
+          
my $dir = '.';
                                                                      
+          
opendir DIR, $dir or die "Can't open '$dir' - $!\n";
                                                                      
+          
my @files = map { "$dir/$_"}
            grep !/^\..?$/, readdir DIR;
                                                                      
+          
my @sort_files = sort { $a->[1] <=> $b->[1] }
                 map { [ $_ , (stat($_))[9] ] }
                 @files;

+          
foreach my $file ( @sort_files )
{
   print $file->[0],"\t",scalar localtime($file->[1]),"\n";
