[Solved] Touch 10% of the total files inside a folder
I'm trying to make this code below to work but I can't find the way to do the following: I want to make the script to touch only 10% of the total amount of files counted inside the given directory instead of all like it is now.
I would greatly appreciate it if someone can give me a direction on how to make this behavior work.
Many thanks.

file::touch
Touch(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Touch(3pm)NAME
File::Touch - update access and modification timestamps, creating nonexistent files where necessary.
SYNOPSIS
use File::Touch;
@file_list = ('one.txt','../two.doc');
$count = touch(@file_list);
use File::Touch;
$reference_file = '/etc/passwd';
$touch_obj = File::Touch->new(
reference => $reference_file,
no_create => 1
);
@file_list = ('one.txt','../two.doc');
$count = $touch_obj->touch(@file_list);
DESCRIPTION
Here's a list of arguments that can be used with the object-oriented contruction:
atime_only => [0|1]
If nonzero, change only the access time of files. Default is zero.
mtime_only => [0|1]
If nonzero, change only the modification time of files. Default is zero.
no_create => [0|1]
If nonzero, do not create new files. Default is zero.
reference => $reference_file
If defined, use timestamps from this file instead of current time. Default is undefined.
atime => $time
If defined, use this time (in epoch seconds) instead of current time for access time.
mtime => $time
If defined, use this time (in epoch seconds) instead of current time for modification time.
Examples
Update access and modification times, creating nonexistent files
use File::Touch;
my @files = ('one','two','three');
my $count = touch(@files);
print "$count files updated
";
Set access time forward, leave modification time unchanged
use File::Touch;
my @files = ('one','two','three');
my $day = 24*60*60;
my $time = time() + 30 * $day;
my $ref = File::Touch->new( atime_only => 1, time => $time );
my $count = $ref->touch(@files);
print "$count files updated
";
Set modification time back, update access time, do not create nonexistent files
use File::Touch;
my @files = ('one','two','three');
my $day = 24*60*60;
my $time = time() - 30 * $day;
my $ref = File::Touch->new( mtime => $time, no_create => 1 );
my $count = $ref->touch(@files);
print "$count files updated
";
