You could always try storing the value in time() format. (E.g. print
OUTFILE time."\n";) Then you can check to see if the file is over two days
old like this:
my $time = time;
if($time > $filetime + 172800){
unlink $file;
}
#172800 is the number of seconds in two days.

I need to do a Perl script who do a certain command after 2 days.Example:
my file contains
8 Jul 2002
when I lunch the script it must control the date and if it's equal to
date+2 (in this case 10 Jul 2002) execute my commands trought system.I
thought to do this transforming the date in this format to days from the
begin of the year but I don't know how.Thanks for your help,
Francesco
