Cheers guys but I've actualy managed to botch my way through this using the find command. Something simple like this is doing everything I need

#!/usr/bin/ksh

LOGDIR=/directory/logs/
DATE=$(date +%Y%m%d)
LOGFILE=mylog.${DATE}

if [[ -z $(find $LOGDIR -name $LOGFILE -mmin -60) ]]
then echo "$LOGFILE has not been modified for 60 minutes" > /tmp/output
else echo "$LOGFILE has normal activity" > /tmp/output
fi

Maybe it's not too pretty but it seems to work - and no need for perl or shell arithmetic.
