First off you can do whatever you need. Your question is not clear.
What is says to me:
find files that are five minutes old
find files from yesterday that are exactly 24:05 minutes old.
There are problems with exact file times. Filetimes are to the second. Plus, five minutes ago is relative to when you actually run the command.
It is 0430 local time. So five minutes ago is 0425. That means we are looking for files greater than equal to five minutes ago and less than six minutes ago:
Try that

Hi there,
I'm using terminal on mac and using the ls -l command to list all the files in a directory. However, I only want to display the date and time stamp of each file rather than permissions, owner, group etc...
Is this possible?
Many thanks in advance

Hi All,
I need to list the files based modification time of the files from a directory, I cannot use "ls -t" as there are lot of files, which "ls" command cannot handle. New files will land there daily. So iam looking for an alternative through "find"command.
All suggestions are welcomed.

time::parsedate
Time::ParseDate(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Time::ParseDate(3pm)NAME
Time::ParseDate -- date parsing both relative and absolute
SYNOPSIS
use Time::ParseDate;
$seconds_since_jan1_1970 = parsedate("12/11/94 2pm", NO_RELATIVE => 1)
$seconds_since_jan1_1970 = parsedate("12/11/94 2pm", %options)
OPTIONS
Date parsing can also use options. The options are as follows:
FUZZY -> it's okay not to parse the entire date string
NOW -> the "current" time for relative times (defaults to time())
ZONE -> local timezone (defaults to $ENV{TZ})
WHOLE -> the whole input string must be parsed
GMT -> input time is assumed to be GMT, not localtime
UK -> prefer UK style dates (dd/mm over mm/dd)
DATE_REQUIRED -> do not default the date
TIME_REQUIRED -> do not default the time
NO_RELATIVE -> input time is not relative to NOW
TIMEFIRST -> try parsing time before date [not default]
PREFER_PAST -> when year or day of week is ambiguous, assume past
PREFER_FUTURE -> when year or day of week is ambiguous, assume future
SUBSECOND -> parse fraction seconds
VALIDATE -> only accept normal values for HHMMSS, YYMMDD. Otherwise
days like -1 might give the last day of the previous month.

DESCRIPTION
This module recognizes the above date/time formats. Usually a date and a time are specified. There are numerous options for controlling
what is recognized and what is not.
The return code is always the time in seconds since January 1st, 1970 or undef if it was unable to parse the time.
If a timezone is specified it must be after the time. Year specifications can be tacked onto the end of absolute times.
If "parsedate()" is called from array context, then it will return two elements. On sucessful parses, it will return the seconds and what
remains of its input string. On unsucessful parses, it will return "undef" and an error string.
EXAMPLES
$seconds = parsedate("Mon Jan 2 04:24:27 1995");
$seconds = parsedate("Tue Apr 4 00:22:12 PDT 1995");
$seconds = parsedate("04.04.95 00:22", ZONE => PDT);
$seconds = parsedate("Jan 1 1999 11:23:34.578", SUBSECOND => 1);
$seconds = parsedate("122212 950404", ZONE => PDT, TIMEFIRST => 1);
$seconds = parsedate("+3 secs", NOW => 796978800);
$seconds = parsedate("2 months", NOW => 796720932);
$seconds = parsedate("last Tuesday");
$seconds = parsedate("Sunday before last");
($seconds, $remaining) = parsedate("today is the day");
($seconds, $error) = parsedate("today is", WHOLE=>1);
