SPUG: Win32 Sorting directory by date

Hello, I'm trying to sort by date under Windows NT but not having much
luck.

What I want to do is open the directory, sort the array by their touch
date and time then print out the contents. I've messed 
around with a couple mods (polysort, file::sort, etc.) but they still
wont sort by the actual file touch date
and time. I also tryed redirecting the opendir var through dir /od for
example: 
    opendir(FH, "c:\\winnt\\system32\\cmd.exe \/c dir \/od $Files |") 

But perl didn't like that either.

Any ideas?

Thank You,
