If I understand this correctly, the program takes every file in /var/local/some_dir/ that isn't older than a day, and tars it up in /backup/some_dir/, right? I'm not sure I understand the reason to tar up each file into a different archive, but I wouldn't do it in Perl, but I'd use the shell instead. Perhaps (untested):
cd /var/local/some_dir
find . -type -f -mtime 1 -maxdepth 1 \
-exec tar cfz /backup/some_dir/{}.tar.gz {} \;
But I guess I'd backup all the files in a single archive; then I'd use find (as above) to list the files, and pipe that into cpio to create the archive.

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).
