Perl Script to check file date and size
Hi guys, i am new to perl. I started reading the perl documents and try to come up with some logic.

I am trying to create a script that would go into a location, search for todays files, then searches for all .txt files from today.

If todays not found, its an error

If file size is less than 0kb, its an error

It should email me the results. Here is the code so far:

Code:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use strict;
use vars qw(%opt);
use vars qw(%logfiles);
use Data::Dumper;
use Carp;

my $foundmymessages;
my $errormymessages;

sub StartUp () {
   my $todaydate = `/location1/select.pl -0`; chomp $todaydate;
   my ($YYYY, $MM, $DD) = unpack("A4A2A2", $todaydate);
   my $yesterday = `/location1/seclect.pl -1`; chomp $yesterday;
   my ($YYYYY, $YMM, $YDD) = unpack("A4A2A2", $yesterday);
   $opt{TodayDate} = $todaydate;
   $opt{YYYY} = $YYYY;
   my ($foo,$YY) = unpack("A2A2", $YYYY);
   $opt{YY} = $YY;
   $opt{MM} = $MM;
   $opt{DD} = $DD;
   $opt{YYYYY} = $YYYYY;
   $opt{YMM} = $YMM;
   $opt{YDD} = $YDD;
   $opt{Error} = 0;
   $opt{EqualDelim}="========================================================================";
   $opt{DashDelim}="--------------------------------------------------------------------------";
} # end StartUp

sub Standby () {
   %logfiles = (
        'Location1' => "/loc/loc-01/logs/ser/Feed/TC`date '+%m%d%Y'`*.txt",
        'Location2' => "/loc/loc-02/logs/ser/Feed/TC`date '+%m%d%Y'`*.txt",
        'Location3' => "/loc/loc-03/logs/ser/Feed/TC`date '+%m%d%Y'`*.txt",
        'Location4' => "/loc/loc-04/logs/ser/Feed/TC`date '+%m%d%Y'`*.txt",        
    );

} # end Standby


sub scanLogs () {
   foreach my $logfileinstance (sort keys %logfiles) {
      my $lfile = "$logfiles{$logfileinstance}";
      

     

} # end scanLogs

plbin

PLBIN(3plplot)							    PLplot API							    PLBIN(3plplot)

NAME

       plbin - Plot a histogram from binned data

SYNOPSIS

       plbin(nbin, x, y, opt)

DESCRIPTION

       Plots  a  histogram consisting of nbin bins.  The value associated with the i'th bin is placed in x[i], and the number of points in the bin
       is placed in y[i].  For proper operation, the values in x[i] must form a strictly increasing sequence.  By default, x[i] is  the  left-hand
       edge  of  the  i'th  bin.  If opt=PL_BIN_CENTRED is used, the bin boundaries are placed midway between the values in the x array.  Also see
       plhist(3plplot) for drawing histograms from unbinned data.

       Redacted form:  General: plbin(x, y, opt) Perl/PDL: plbin(nbin, x, y, opt) Python: plbin(nbin, x, y, opt)

       This function is not used in any examples.

ARGUMENTS

       nbin (PLINT, input)
	      Number of bins (i.e., number of values in x and y arrays.)

       x (PLFLT *, input)
	      Pointer to array containing values associated with bins.	These must form a strictly increasing sequence.

       y (PLFLT *, input)
	      Pointer to array containing number of points in bin.  This is a PLFLT (instead of PLINT) array so as to allow histograms	of  proba-
	      bilities, etc.

       opt (PLINT, input)
	      Is a combination of several flags: opt=PL_BIN_DEFAULT: The x represent the lower bin boundaries, the outer bins are expanded to fill
	      up the entire x-axis and bins of zero height are simply drawn.  opt=PL_BIN_CENTRED|...: The bin boundaries are to be midway  between
	      the  x  values.  If  the values in x are equally spaced, the values are the center values of the bins.  opt=PL_BIN_NOEXPAND|...: The
	      outer bins are drawn with equal size as the ones inside.	opt=PL_BIN_NOEMPTY|...: Bins with zero height are not drawn  (there  is  a
	      gap for such bins).
