Bug Perl Scripting
Hi,
This is my first posting.I am entirely new to perl Scripting.I need an urgent script for the following requirement.

1) Create a script that will move (mv) the file to a backup file to archive folder that runs every week.
2) gzip the backup file.
3) Delete any backup file that is older than a month.

The files are output files and error log files for the jobs running on the machine.So i Should move the files to an archive folder which are older than a week.

The gziped file name should be named including date format within the file name.

edit by scottn: Homework violation. Thread closed.
