Subject: Better way to kill files?

Purpose here is to find all files > 5 hours old in a directory and wipe
them...

Of course I could just write a shell script but I wanted to leverage
ruby...or, rather, needed to leverage ruby...not real familiar with the
File and FileUtils API just yet...

dir_path = "~/foo/bar"

Dir.new(dir_path).each {|file|
  if file.include?('foobar')
    afile = File.new("#{dir_path}/#{file}")

    if (Time.now - afile.mtime)/60/60 > 5
      File.delete("#{dir_path}/#{file}")
    end
  end
}
