Assuming you've saved everything from '#!/usr/bin/perl' to the final '}', 
inclusive, to a file, name the file something, like 'date_sort'. Then

   chmod +x date_sort

   ./date_sort /directory/to/sort

I use this primarily on directory hierarchies of regular files, so I'm not 
guaranteeing what will happen if you use it on directories that contain 
other sorts of files.
