Hi!
I am looking for a way of moving files older than a date,
I am need this in a script for moving/erase old files from a
production machine
Any tips where to read more about this i gratefull, i can't find any,
(it is on a Windows server) and i would like to stick to PERL standard
package
(ActiveState) if it is possible

Look at Perl's stat function (perldoc -f stat), which gives you file
modification times, and also look at the file test operators -M, -A,
and -C (see perldoc -f -X), which return file "ages" in floating-point
days.
