Finding Latest File

[Mike Reilley]

HI ALL,

I have a file like
www.txt
There may be multiple copies of the file in the same directory
www.txt
www1.txt
www5.txt
I need to pick out the latest file by date and time drop the numeric suffix and copy the file to another directory.
There is no relationship between the numeric suffix and the date & time. In the above it might be that www1.txt is the latest.
I would appreciate any direction that the PERL EXPERTS would care
To discuss.
TIA
