Hi all,
I am very new to Perl. I have had assembler and Rexx experience on a
mainframe. I would like to be able to use Perl to list a directory, get
the propeties of the files (eg. date created), and keep the newest 3.
The reason I want to do this is because I am running a UDB system that
creates weekly backups. The backups never get deleted unless I do that
by hand. I would like to keep the 3 newest UDB backups. Any help, in
any direction, would be greatly appreciated. Once I get started on
this, I think perl will make more sense to me.
The directory structure is:
UDB
Backups
Folder1
udbbck01.bak
Folder2
udbbck02.bak
Folder3
udbbck03.bak
|

|
Folder(n-1)
udbbck(n-1).bak
Folder(n)
udbbck(n).bak
