You need perl, python or C - here is perl

#!/bin/ksh
secs()
{
	perl -e ' 
			 $mtime = (stat $ARGV[0])[9];
			 $diff = time() - $mtime;
			 if ($diff > ( $ARGV[1] * 3600 )) 
			 {
			     print "1";	
			 }
			 else
			 {
			     print "0";	
			 }
			' $1  $2
}
hours=2
for file in `ls *.pl`
do
	older=$(secs $file $hours)
	if [[ $older -eq 1 ]] ; then
	   echo "$file is older"
	else
	   echo "$file is not older"
	fi   
done

please try the mtime option. check the man page of find.

With zsh:

print -l **/*(.mh-2)

What is the first check for? -- comparing diff to 3600

or touch a file with the timestamp
and then use find with the option -newer
