HOw to check in Perl script that directory older then 60 (or other) days old? Can't Post
I need to check that my directory older then for example 60 days.
For the file I used:
die unless opendir DIR, ".";
foreach my $fname (grep {-f && (5 <= -M)} readdir DIR)
{
do something
}
Can I have something similar to determine directory and remove it with file? (How to rmtree I know)

You say 60 days but test your files for an age of 5 days. Can your please explain?

Otherwise, try to replace -f (file) with -d (directory). I haven't tested it, but I guess this should work.

Files 5 days. directories are diferent
But" readdir DIR" means I read files on the directory.

Is this what you're looking for?
Code
foreach my $dir (grep {-d && (60 <= -M)} readdir DIR)
If not, then you need to provide a better explanation of what you want.

But what will be in DIR? files on the directory? I don't need them. I need directories, which are older 60 days. Foreach will not work in this case I think. If I readdir DIR, then I read files on that directory

Since you're asking that question, it's obvious that you didn't even bother to test it.

Test it and find out the answer.
