The feeling will go away after a while, really.

But when I try:

# ./date_sort /

I get:

use: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

Sounds like it can't find perl, or there's a syntax error. (Perl is installed, right?) Paste the results of the following commands into a mail message:

  which perl

  head date_sort

and we can see if there's anything obvious there. The script may be pointing to a non-existant executable.

And also note that, as currently written, the perl script does not have an equivalent to the '-x' argument for 'find'. We might be able to get that in there, but probably should worry about just getting the script working first.
