    Here's a simple way:  (I'm not very good at elegant Perl)

-Andrew

------------

$dir ="Macintosh HD:Desktop Folder:Download";

@items = ();

opendir (DIR, $dir) or die "Non posso accedere a DIR: $!";
while (defined(my $nomeFile = readdir (DIR))) {
	$nomeFile = $dir.":".$nomeFile;
	$gg = int (-M $nomeFile);

	$aRef = [$gg, $nomeFile];
	push @items, $aRef;
}
closedir (DIR);

@newlist = sort {$a->[0] <=> $b->[0];} @items;
foreach $item (@newlist)
{
	print "$$item[1] with mod date of $$item[0]\n";
}
