I just pasted the script from your message into AppleScript Editor and
it compiled and ran fine after I removed the ">" marks and newlines.
So it's something on your end, possibly the same thing that added the
extra "\n"'s in your earlier message. Note that the entire "do shell
script" command is one single line.
Here's the entire script I used to test (3 lines total):
set myFolder to choose folder
do shell script "perl -MFile::Find -le 'find(sub { return if -d || $_
eq \".DS_Store\"; $mtime = (lstat $_)[9]; $newest =
[$File::Find::name, $mtime] if (!$newest || $mtime > $newest->[1]); },
shift); print $newest->[0]' " & (quoted form of POSIX path of
myFolder)
POSIX file result
