In this case, yes, you don't need those parens.
>print ($sort_order) ? 'Newest First' : 'Oldest First';
Remove the parens, or add them around the entire argument list to print:
print( ($sort_order) ? '...' : '...' );

You want to use printf() or sprintf():
printf "%d:%02d\n", 5, 1; # "5:01";
printf "%02d:%02d\n", 5, 1; # "05:01";
