Hi, the first thing -of course- that comes to mind is that I would do this using the find command. One would use the mtime flag to set the (modification)time and would combine it with the name-checker (-name) to exclude blahblah.zip. Then pipe it into xargs rm -f and that's it. But then you seem to want to do this in perl. Simply put a check into your loop: (Please note the regexp test (/blahblah/) could be replaced by string equality ( eq "blahblah.zip") when you really(!) need performance, and please lookup the return values of -M and stat since I'm not really sure of it). Maybe you should consider using File::Find for this...
