I suggest using Path::Tiny for working with the files: its visit method can recursively walk a directory tree and apply a subroutine to each filename found, accumulating a list of matching files. The solution to matching the filenames will depend on the naming format used.
Update: since you showed the format elsewhere ... try something like this:
use strict;
use warnings;
use feature 'say';
use Data::Dumper;
use Path::Tiny;
use Time::Piece;
my $root = "/Users/1nickt/perlmonks/11133966";
my $today = localtime->strftime('%Y%m%d');
my %list;
path($root)->visit(sub {
my $path = shift;
next unless -d $path;
my $date = substr($path, -8);
if ( $date =~ /^[0-9]{4}[0-2][0-9][0-3][0-9]$/ && $date gt $today
+) {
push(@{ $list{$_->parent} }, $path =~ s{.+/}{}r);
}
}, {
recurse => 1,
});
say Dumper \%list;
Hope this helps!
The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

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).
