Re^5: Reading every file in a directory

[Kenosis]

Try the following on a scratch directory that contains some scratch .yml files:

use strict;
use warnings;

my $directory   = './yml';
my $fiveDays    = 5 * 86400;
my $currentTime = time;
my ( $fileLine, $timeStamp );

for my $YMLfile (<"$directory/*.yml">) {
    open my $fh, '<', $YMLfile or die $!;

    while ( $fileLine = <$fh> ) {
        last if ($timeStamp) = $fileLine =~ /login: (\d+)/;
    }

    close $fh;

    # Divide 13 digit TS by 1000 to convert to 10 digit TS
    if ( ( $currentTime - $timeStamp / 1000 ) > $fiveDays ) {
        print "Login TS in $YMLfile is greater than five days old.\n";
    }
}

Verify that the files shown by the routine have a login timestamp (TS) greater than five days. If the script is working as needed/expected, try the following on your scratch dir and files (place it on the next line after the print statement, so files are conditionally unlinked):

unlink $YMLfile or warn "Could not unlink $YMLfile: $!";

Disclaimer: Be very careful with this file-deleting script, as you're assuming all responsibility for the use of it.
