Hola Michael. ˇBienvenido!

As it was said, you must move the $fecha assignment just before the find(), but I guess a chomp should be needed:

my $fecha = `date +%F--%k:%M`; chomp($fecha);

A sub may appear anywhere in your code, but it will be used when it is called, so your $fecha assignment is logically misplaced. If you wanted to get a new date for each processed file, put the previous lines inside a subroutine.

Why are you using STDOUT to create new files? Just recycle FILE or use another fd, and close() it before chown().

Also, use strict and use warnings when writing and testing new code. I've learned too much from them.
