I am sorry, I must have missed some fine point, but why not use simply
pro get_newest
temp = findfile("*", count=n_files)
date = lon64arr(n_files)
for i = 0, n_files - 1 do begin
openr, 100, temp[i]
date[i] = (fstat(100)).mtime
close, 100
endfor
file_index = where(date eq max(date))
print, temp[file_index]
end
This would work not just on Unix.
