I know this doesn't fully answer you question but I'm wondering, do you mean files that your users haven't accessed in 30 days? What if they are using it like once a week?
I'm reading through the "Learning Perl 3rd Edition" and on page 159 there are a number of file tests available. If your users are accessing a file regularly (with in the 30 days lets say) then I would recommend using the -A option when testing the file(s). It checks access age measured in days. If you simply want to remove the files regardless of whether they are accessed regularly or not, perhaps the module File::Basename will meet your needs.
