Boggle. I don't think any program I write these days doesn't have one.
They're the most convenient way of

references in the first place. You are using global variables here
(even though you declare them with my).
You can't call the gather_mtime_between() twice and get two unrelated
pairs of functions. You should move the declarations INTO the sub
gather_mtime_between(). And fix

I don't think I do. I was only making fun of your claim, since you made the

Until Perl 6, you have to break down chain comparisons like this into
separate comparisons, usually joined with 'and':
if ($start = $timestamp and $timestamp = $stop) { ... }

Ok, if anyone is interested, here is my answer:

Toss the -w, and insert a use warnings;.
my ($start, $stop) = @_;
my @starting_directories = @_;
This doesn't do what I think that you think it does.
my($sec, $min, $hour, $day, $mon, $yr, $dow) = localtime;
Is the start/top related to today?
