may I recommend what may be simpler?

        # never argue with what works. PERIOD.
        my @t=localtime;$t[4]++;$t[5]+=1900;
        # for the DD-MM-YYYY we would use
        my $dtg = sprintf("%02d-%02d-%4d",@t[3,4,5]);
        ....
        my @notFound;
        while(<FH>) {
                if (/$dtg/ ) {
                        print $_;                               #or what ever you
                } else {
                        push(@notFound, $_);
                }
        }
        close(FH);
        print "#----------\n# ok, so what did we put in the \@notFound\n\n";
        print $_ for @notFound;
