(Please use a more descriptive title for your questions)
In pseudocode, your solution would be something like this:
- Get date two weeks ago (using time and some basic arithmatic to subtract 14 day's worth of seconds)
- Open directory handle with opendir
- For each file read from the directory handle with readdir...
- Ignore file unless is starts with DATE_ (check with a regular expression)
- Parse date and time out of filename (using a regex)
- If parsed date is less than the two week's ago date that you calculated at the start then delete the file
- Read next file from directory handle

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
