I'll bet dragonchild thought of this and omitted it for some reason. Not being as wise I'll go ahead and put it out there. This is the same solution without the temporary @files array.
opendir(DIR, $directory) or die $!;
my %fileHash = map { (/^(\w{3}\d*):log\.$date$/ => $_); }
grep /^\w{3}\d*:log\.$date$/, readdir(DIR);
closedir DIR;
I also took the liberty of adding a '\' before the '.' in your regex. It looked like you meant a literal '.' not 'any character'. I think dragonchild's is more easily understood but I like this one.
UPDATE: Even though this works and is all true, look a little lower to japhy's. It's better.
Ira,

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
