Code:
 
date <= apr 2010
find /path/to/search -type f -mtime +631 -print 
last accessed >= apr 2010
find /path/to/search -type f -mtime -631 -print

Code:
perl -MFile::Find '-MTime::Local qw/timelocal/' -le'
  find { 
    wanted => sub {
      return unless -f;
      $atime = (stat)[8];
      print $File::Find::name, scalar localtime $atime
        if timelocal(0, 0, 0, 1, 3, 2010 - 1900) <= $atime and
          $atime <= timelocal(59, 59, 23, 30, 3, 2010 - 1900)           
        }
    }, shift
  ' .

The argument to pass to the script (a dot . in this example) is the name of the directory to search.

Hi itkamaraj,
