NAME File::Find::Age - mtime sorted files to easily find newest or oldest SYNOPSIS my $oldest = shift(File::Find::Age->in('lib/', 't/'))->{file}; my $newest = pop(File::Find::Age->in('lib/', 't/'))->{file}; my $oldest_mtime = shift(File::Find::Age->in('lib/', 't/'))->{mtime}; my $newest_mtime = pop(File::Find::Age->in('lib/', 't/'))->{mtime}; DESCRIPTION METHODS in(@folders) Returns array ref with list of files found in @folders sorted by mtime. Sorted list includes one hash ref per file. Ex.: $VAR1 = [ { 'mtime' => 1239916327, 'file' => 't/00_compile.t' }, { 'mtime' => 1239916327, 'file' => 't/pod-coverage.t' }, { 'mtime' => 1239916327, 'file' => 't/distribution.t' }, { 'mtime' => 1239916327, 'file' => 't/pod.t' }, { 'mtime' => 1284468458, 'file' => 't/pod-spell.t' }, { 'mtime' => 1341080967, 'file' => 'lib/File/Find/Age.pm' } ]; USAGE I'm using it to find newest mtime of static web files and use this number to invalidate browser cached versions of this files.
