Using &List::Util::reduce, can save having to sort.
$ perl -MList::Util=reduce -Mstrict -Mwarnings -E '
my $newest =
reduce { $a->[ 1 ] > $b->[ 1 ] ? $a : $b }
do {
opendir my $dotDH, q{.} or die qq{opendir: .: $!\n};
map { [ $_, ( stat $_ )[ 9 ] ] }
grep { -f and not -l }
readdir $dotDH;
};
say qq{Newest file - $newest->[ 0 ]};'
Newest file - spw1029421
$
And that really is the newest file in the directory :-)

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
