Top of my head solution, relies on epoch date to position the creation time, (usual caveat about inode change versus actual creation time)
I chose this method because epoch time seemed the easiest route to creating a time window and Perl's stat utility returns the ctime in epoch seconds (I'm sure there are other utilities which could do the same, however when the only tool you have is a hammer every problem looks like a thumb )
