in thread find the latest created file in a directory

Actually, I did:

$ cat test.pl #!/pro/bin/perl use 5.016; use warnings; my $DIR = "usr"; opendir my $dh, $DIR or die "Error opening $DIR: $!"; my @files = sort { $b->[10] <=> $a->[10] } map {[ $_, CORE::stat "$DIR/$_" ]} grep !m/^\.\.?$/, readdir $dh; closedir $dh; use DP;DDumper $files[0]; $ ls -lrt usr total 16 -rw-rw-rw- 1 merijn users 2588 Jun 18 2004 Honda.gif -rw-rw-rw- 1 merijn users 2388 Feb 20 2007 Honda.png -rw-rw-rw- 1 merijn users 3774 Feb 20 2007 Honda.ico drwxrwxrwx 2 merijn users 4096 Oct 22 2012 terminfo $ perl test.pl [ 'terminfo', 2065, 15481507, 16895, 2, 203, 100, 0, 4096, '1366762203', '1350940900', '1350940900', 4096, 8 ] $ touch usr/new $ perl test.pl [ 'new', 2065, 11278617, 33206, 1, 203, 100, 0, 0, '1366816276', '1366816276', '1366816276', 4096, 0 ] $

    Oh... sorry, got it now.

    I forgot that Core::stat returns a list (while File::stat returns a reference to a File::stat object).

    Thanks for clarifying.
